Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast.

William Shakespeare

Theresa strode over to us in a swish of cloth. "Enough of this, animator. He can't do it, so he pays the price. Either leave now, or join us at our...feast." Are you having rare Who-roast-beast?" I asked. What are you talking about?" It's from Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. You know the part, 'And they'd Feast! Feast! Feast! Feast! Feast! They would feast on Who-pudding and rare Who-roast-beast.'" You are crazy." So I've been told.

Laurell K. Hamilton

If money is all that a man makes, then he will be poor - poor in happiness, poor in all that makes life worth living.

Herbert Newton Casson

Poor in abundance, famish'd at a feast.

Edward Young

For most practical purposes Tarbean had two pieces: Waterside and Hillside. Waterside is where people are poor. That makes them beggars, thieves, and whores. Hillside is where people are rich. That makes them solicitors, politicians, and courtesans.

Patrick Rothfuss

Ignorance and poverty are the best condiments for the great feast of the world, but the inexperienced and poor are never invited to it.

Anthony Burgess

God does not have a fixed plan that he must carry out; on the contrary, he has many different ways of finding man and even of turning his wrong ways into right ways...The feast of Christ the King is therefore not a feast of those who are subjugated, but a feast of those who know that they are in the hands of the one who writes straight on crooked lines.

Pope Benedict XVI

I always felt like I was right out of Dickens, looking in the window of the Christmas feast, but not at the feast.

John Baldessari

Charity feeds the poor, so does pride; charity builds an hospital, so does pride. In this they differ: charity gives her glory to God; pride takes her glory from man.

Francis Quarles

A cherefull looke makes a dish a feast.

George Herbert

Feast today makes fast tomorrow

Plautus

Catch {a man} at the moment when he is really poor in spirit and smuggle into his mind the gratifying reflection, "By jove, I'm being humble," and almost immediately pride - pride at his own humility - will appear.

C. S. Lewis

Feast to-day makes fast to-morrow. Lat.

Plautus

I was raised to take pride in homemaking, and it's something that I always love to do. I know I share that pride with millions of other women all over the world. It's a good feeling, and it makes me happy.

Yolanda Hadid

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
