Now, good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both!
The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness.
Doth not the appetite alter? A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety. Other women cloy the appetites they feed, but she makes hungry where most she satisfies.
Who riseth from a feast With that keen appetite that he sits down?
Read o'er this And after, this, and then to breakfast with What appetite you have.
Alas, their love may be call'd appetite. No motion of the liver, but the palate
Appetite, a universal wolf.
If music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken and so die.

Yond' Cassius has a lean and hungry look; He thinks too much: such men are dangerous
We came into the world like brother and brother;And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another.
Over hill, over dale,Thorough bush, thorough brier,Over park, over pale,Thorough flood, thorough fire,I do wander everywhere.
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
