Washington Irving
Who ever hears of fat men heading a riot, or herding together in turbulent mobs? No — no, your lean, hungry men who are continually worrying society, and setting the whole community by the ears.

The snake kills by squeezing very slowly...Love grows. Lust wastes by Enjoyment, and the Reason...Pleasure in the job...Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul...Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food...It's human nature to gripe, but I'm going ahead...
