“No   matter   how   bad   your   day   is,   when   you start   talking   about   cookies   or   cakes   or   pies,   or you   bring   someone   cookies,   there’s   just   not   bad   news.   The   worst   news     is,     ‘Hey,     there’s     sugar     in   that.’”

~ Christina Tosi

“I went to the bank and asked to borrow a cup of money. They said, ‘What for?’ I said, ‘I’m going to buy some sugar.’”

~ Steven Wright

“I never had anything good, no sweet, no sugar; & that sugar, right by me, did look so nice, & my mistress’s back was turned to me while she was fighting with her husband, so I just put my fingers in the sugar bowl to take one lump, & maybe she heard me, for she turned & saw me. The next minute, she had the rawhide down.”

~ Harriet Tubman

“Sugar           Ray           Robinson           was       probably         the         greatest           pound-for-pound           fighter             of           all           time.

~ Sugar Ray Leonard

“ Be careful who you trust because salt and sugar both look the same.”

~ Sneha Singh

“ Life without friends is like sweet without sugar.”

~ Mehul Khandelwal

“Give up this dry discussion, this hodge-podge of philosophy. Who has been able to know God by reasoning? Even sages like Suka and Vyasa are at best like big ants trying to carry   away   a few   grains   of   sugar   from   a   large   heap.”

~ Sarada Devi

“Who may be called a paramahamsa? He who, like a swan, can take the milk from a mixture of milk and water, leaving aside the water. He who, like an ant, can take the sugar from a mixture of sugar and sand, leaving aside the sand.”

~ Ramakrishna

“My forebears refused to cut the sugar cane for plantation owners, and I am recognisably a product of that background.”

~ Diane Abbott

“With devotion’s visage and pious action we do sugar o’er the devil himself.”

~ Thomas Fuller

“Cutting sugar made the most difference to my body. It’s the devil. It’s addictive, and it’s in so many things you wouldn’t even think of. Sugar is put in sauces, breads, and yoghurts. It’s not always obvious, but so many things are packed in sugar.”

~ Caroline Flack

“Life would pall if it were all sugar; salt is bitter if taken by itself; but when tasted as part of the dish, it savours the meat. Difficulties are the salt of life.”

~ Robert Baden-Powell
