OVEREATING

I hold this to be the rule of life, "Too much of anything is bad."— Terence.

The food from which a man abstains, after he has eaten heartily, is of more benefit to him than that which he has eaten.—Louis Comaro.

"Hunger and thirst scarcely kill any. But gluttony and drink kill a great many.”

The cattle know when to leave their pasture, but a foolish man knows not the measure of his own appetite.— Hans Christian Andersen.

Some, as thou saw'st, by violent stroke shall die.

By fire, flood, famine; by intemperance more

In meats and drinks, which on the earth shall bring

Diseases dire, of which a monstrous crew

Before thee shall appear, that thou may'st know

What misery the inabstinence of Eve

Shall bring on men. — John Milton.
