The miser and the glutton are two facetious buzzards: one hides his store, and the other stores his hide.

Their kitchen is their shrine, the cook their priest, the table their altar, and their belly their god.

One meal a day is enough for a lion, and it ought to be for a man.

A poor man who eats too much, as contradistinguished from a gourmand, who is a rich man who "lives well."

Glutton: one who digs his grave with his teeth.

The fool that eats till he is sick must fast till he is well.
