Butter Quotes - page 9

My mother cannot learn to have any reliance upon my financial judgment or promises. It's partly, I suppose, because she still thinks of me as a child...She even hesitates to let me have the responsibility of bringing up butter from the spring(house), for fear I won't do it quite right!...This unaccountable daughter who roams the world, borrowing money here and getting shot at there...is a pride, in a way, but a ceaseless apprehension, too. (Rose Wilder Lane)
Without peanut butter, I might starve. View quote
Judy Blume
I have a most peaceable disposition. My desires are for a modest hut, a thatched roof, but a good bed, good food, very fresh milk and butter, flowers in front of my window and a few pretty trees by my door. And should the good Lord wish to make me really happy, he will allow me the pleasure of seeing about six or seven of my enemies hanged upon those trees. View quote
Heinrich Heine
I don't want to be known as this goody-two-shoes who can only do comedies where puppies are licking peanut butter off my face. View quote
Kevin James
Moliere Not a deed would he do, Not a word would he utter, Till he's weighed its relation To plain bread and butter. View quote
James Russell Lowell
I make a mean peanut butter and jelly sandwich. View quote
Jack Black
Peanut Butter Wolf is my relaxing music, my lunch music, my chilling music. View quote
Norman Reedus
I was a frequent visitor at the London Zoo; in the lion house there were always ninnies who mocked the captive lions. I often wished that the bars would turn to butter, and that the great, noble beasts would practise their particular form of wit upon the little, ignoble men. View quote
Robertson Davies
Everything was twice repeated, Sometimes more than twice repeated, As they worked through the agenda (It seemed elastic, that agenda, Becoming longer, never shorter), Their utterances grew long, not shorter, It was just like spreading butter. View quote
Gavin Ewart
... Once I start a book I finish it. That was the way one was brought up. Books, bread and butter, mashed potato - one finishes what's on one's plate. That's always been my philosophy. View quote
Alan Bennett
As a nation of servants, you (Filipinos) don't flex your muscles at your master, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter. ...They may have Barack Obama and the hawkish American military behind them, but we have a hostage in each of our homes in the Mid-Levels or higher. (To Kit)
The Sahara was a spectacle as alive as the sea. The tints of the dunes changed according to the time of day and the angle of the light: golden as apricots from far off, when we drove close to them they turned to freshly made butter; behind us they grew pink; from sand to rock, the materials of which the desert was made varied as much as its tints. View quote
Simone de Beauvoir
Golden rule Made of hard metal so it could stand severe wear, it not being known at that time that butter would answer. View quote
Mark Twain
What kind of food did we drop on Afghanistan? Pop-Tarts, peanut butter...just add a Honey Baked Ham and you've got a redneck Christmas. Why are we dropping this food on Afghanistan? Tastes a shit load better than dirt, #1. #2, difficult to have a call to jihad with a mouth full of peanut butter. Thirdly, Afghanistan is a hashish-smoking culture, and anyone who's ever been a friend of the hookah will go, (intense, stoned stare) "Pop-Tarts!" View quote
Robin Williams
If I have a weakness, it's probably ice cream. That's where I get lax, sloppy. I'll sneak into the refrigerator at night and take two or three bites and put it back. Butter pecan. Only two or three bites, but it shows. View quote
Jack Nicklaus
My belief is, that a wiser decision than that to which you came-to subject property to direct taxation within certain limits-to remove the prohibition upon foreign cattle-to permit swine and sheep to be imported-to reduce the duty on corn, on sugar, on lard, on butter, and on cheese-you never made. My belief is that you have been amply repaid for any loss you may have sustained by that reduction; that you have gained the confidence and goodwill of the labouring classes in this country, by parting with that which was thought to be directly for the benefit of the landed interest. It was that confidence in the generosity and justice of Parliament which in no small degree enabled you to pass triumphantly through that storm which convulsed other nations during the year 1848.

Robert Peel
She smiled a little bit. "Most of us has a desire to mind other folks' business,” she said. "That's the child in you, Butter, not the man.”. View quote
James McBride (writer)
On peanut butter as shaving cream "...if you don't mind smelling like a peanut for two or three days it's a darn good shaving cream..." View quote
Barry Goldwater
Ostensibly he is an altruist devoted whole-heartedly to the service of his fellow-men, and so abjectly public-spirited that his private interest is nothing to him. Actually, he is a sturdy rogue whose principal, and often sole aim in life is to butter his parsnips. His technical equipment consists simply of an armamentarium of deceits. It is his business to get and hold his job at all costs. If he can hold it by lying he will hold it by lying. if lying peters out he will try and hold it by embracing new truths. His ear is ever close to the ground. View quote
H. L. Mencken
God knows I have little interest in animals, but I do not like to see them insulted. I used to feel the same thing in the days when I was a frequent visitor at the London Zoo; in the lion house there were always ninnies who mocked the captive lions. I often wished that the bars would turn to butter, and that the great, noble beasts would practise their particular form of wit upon the little, ignoble men. View quote
Robertson Davies
God is both with form and without form. Butter still in milk can be said to be without form, and when it is churned out, with form. In the same way, the divine Light which is self-existent in all being is God without physique, whereas the Satguru of the time, or the realised soul, is God with the physique. Submergence of the mind into the divine light; obedience and service to Satguru together with supreme love for Him; consecration of body, mind and all activities to Him; together with a great anguish for the slightest forgetfulness of Him, constitute sublime devotion. Hence perpetual peace, eternal bliss and salvation within the lifetime are ensured. There is absolutely no other way to achieve them. This is universally substantiated. (Hans Ji Maharaj)
