Quotes about Gluttony

Swinish gluttony
Ne'er looks to heav'n amidst his gorgeous feast,
But with besotted base ingratitude
Crams, and blasphemes his feeder.

John Milton

I seem to you cruel and too much addicted to gluttony, when I beat my cook for sending up a bad dinner. If that appears to you too trifling a cause, say for what cause you would have a cook flogged.

Marcus Valerius Martial

Gluttony kills more then the sword. [Gluttony kills more than the sword.]

George Herbert

Gluttony kills more than the sword, and is the kindler of all evils. [Lat., Gula plures occidit quam gladius, estque fomes omnium malorum.]

Old Song
