Of all appeals,--although I grant the power of pathos, and of gold, Of beauty, flattery, threats, a shilling,--no Methods more sure at moments to take hold, Of the best feelings of mankind, which grow More tender, as we every day behold, Than that all-softening, overpow'ring knell, The tocsin of the soul--the Dinner Bell. - Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron) But 't was a public feast, and public day,-- Quite full, right dull, guests hot, and dishes cold, Great plenty, much formality, small cheer, And everybody out of their own sphere. - Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron), Don Juan (canto XVI) The turnpike road to people's hearts, I find, Lies through their mouths or I mistake mankind. - Peter Pindar (pseudonym of Dr. John Wolcot) (Wolcott) The feast of reason and the flow of soul. - Alexander Pope The latter end of a fray, and the beginning of a feast, Fits a dull fighter, and a keen guest. - William Shakespeare
