According to the saying of an ancient philosopher, one should eat to live, and not live to eat

Moliere

Of course we do not live in order to eat, but it is not really true to say that we eat in order to live; we eat because we are hungry. Desire has no further intentions behind it... it is a good will.

Emmanuel Levinas

To the house of a friend if you're pleased to retire, You must all things admit, you must all things admire; You must pay with observance the price of your treat, You must eat what is praised, and must praise what you eat.

George Crabbe

Having bowed to the inevitability of the dictum that we must eat to live, we should ignore it and live to eat.

M. F. K. Fisher

He who would eat much must eat little, for by eating less he will live longer, and so be able to eat more.

Luigi Cornaro

I'd eat, eat, eat, not exercise, go to sleep, eat and eat. I looked up in the mirror and said I had to make a change if I was going to continue to live.

Biz Markie

I eat 6 or 7 raw vegetables every day, 4 or 5 pieces of fresh fruit. I eat egg whites each day. If I eat bread, it has to be whole wheat. I eat brown rice. I don't eat between meals. I eat at 11 o'clock in the morning and 7 o'clock at night.

Jack LaLanne

Death induces the sensual person to say: Let us eat and drink, because tomorrow we shall die - but this is sensuality's cowardly lust for life, that contemptible order of things where one lives in order to eat and drink instead of eating and drinking in order to live.

Soren Kierkegaard

We must eat to live, and not live to eat.

Henry Fielding

If we are to survive the Atomic Age, we must have something to live by, to live on, and to live for. We must stand aside from the world's conspiracy of fear and hate and grasp once more the great monosyllables of life: faith, hope and love. Men must live by these if they live at all under the crushing weight of history.

O. P. Kretzmann

It is a true saying that a man must eat a peck of salt with his friend before he knows him.

Miguel de Cervantes

Do not skip meals. Eat three meals a day and eat until you feel satisfied and comfortably full.

Suzanne Somers

Just as you must eat, drink, and breathe to live, you must read the Bible, pray, and be involved in a church to stay spiritually alive and vital. You never will outgrow these things.

Greg Laurie

We must eat three meals a day, even if we're not hungry, and when we fail to fit the current ideal of beauty we must fast, even if we're starving.

Paulo Coelho

People eat to live but as far as I am concerned, I live to eat and it adds an extra glow to my skin.

Rhea Chakraborty

I don't believe in strict diets or starving yourself; eat three meals a day. I believe in eating a good breakfast, a good lunch and a light dinner. Eat breakfast like a king, eat lunch like a queen, and eat dinner like a pauper. Your ultimate goal is to eat all the basic food groups in those three different meals.
