- No doubt about it: our father Adam and his wife were driven out of paradise because of the vice of gluttony.
- As long as Adam fasted, he was able to remain in Paradise. But when he ate the forbidden fruit of the tree, he was cast out to pain and suffering.
- If a man only knew how many maladies follow from excess and gluttony, he'd certainly be more moderate in his diet when he sits down to eat.
- Think about all the people who work themselves to the bone just so that gluttons can stuff themselves.
- Paul knew what he was talking about:
- "Meat to the belly, and belly to the meat: God shall destroy both," as Paul says.
- It's a very distasteful thing to talk about, and the deed itself is even more disgusting.
- You can turn your throat into a toilet through gluttony.
- The Apostle weeps, "There walk now many about whom I have told you—I say it now weeping in a sad voice—who are the enemy of Christ's cross and merit damnation: their belly is their god."
- O stomach! O belly! O stinking piece of crap!
- Full of dung and corruption, you make disgusting sounds at both ends.
- It takes so much work and money to support you.
- All these cooks pound, and strain, and grind, turning ingredients into food just to fulfill your gluttonous urges!
- They knock the marrow out of the hard bones just so you can have tasty food.
- The sauces for the glutton are made of spice, leaf, bark and root, in order to make him even hungrier.
- If you do this kind of thing, you're really already dead from sin.
