Alongside the statement about one man's poison being another man's high, one might as well add that one man's saint can be another man's sore and one man's hero can turn out to be that man's biggest hangup.

Ken Kesey

One man's poison ivy is another man's spinach.

George Ade

In 'Remember the Night,' love reformed her and corrupted him, which gave us the finely balanced moral that one man's meat is another man's poison.

Preston Sturges

One man's trash is another man's treasure, and the by-product from one food can be perfect for making another.

Yotam Ottolenghi

What is food to one man is bitter poison to others.

Lucretius

What is food to one man may be fierce poison to others

Lucretius

A good man will never harm or oppress another. A good man will share his last morsel of food with others in need, and die of hunger when he no longer has any food -- instead of cheat or steal from others to survive. Selflessness. Humility. Truthfulness. These are the three marks of an honorable man.

One man's Poison Ivy is another Fellow's Spinach.

George Ade

There is such a thing as food and such a thing as poison. But the damage done by those who pass off poison as food is far less than that done by those who generation after generation convince people that food is poison.

Frantz Fanon

I have another proof that we're going to have food in Heaven! And man did eat angel's food.-Manna! So angels can eat food!

David Berg

How can another man call another man boss? That's like calling another man 'Daddy.'

Damon Dash

Oh, yes, we were on location with Another Man's Poison, which I wrote for Bette Davis.

Val Guest

Every human being lived behind an impenetrable wall of choking mist within which no other but he existed. Occasionally there were the dim signals from deep within the cavern in which another man was located so that each might grope toward the other. Yet because they did not know one another, and could not understand one another, and dared not trust one another, and felt from infancy the terrors and insecurity of that ultimate isolation there was the hunted fear of man for man, the savage rapacity of man toward man.

Isaac Asimov

A lady is nothing very specific. One man's lady is another man's woman; sometimes, one man's lady is another man's wife. Definitions overlap but they almost never coincide.
