If Claret is the king of natural wines, Burgundy is the queen. ~ Moliere
Claret quotes by Moliere
I must say, Graystone, you are surviving married life very nicely." Peter helped himself to claret from the decanter that had been set out in the library.
"Thank you, Sheldrake. I flatter myself that not every man could survive being married to Augusta. ~ Amanda Quick
Claret quotes by Amanda Quick
the English drinking their 'alf and 'alf out of pewter mugs, the French drinking their claret out of very thin glasses, while our Russian shipmates and ourselves drank something harder out of thick glasses which were very small at the bottom. ~ Charles Erskine
Claret quotes by Charles Erskine
He who aspires to be a serious wine drinker must drink claret. ~ Samuel Johnson
Claret quotes by Samuel Johnson
The Open is the one that we all want and strive for and to be able to hold this Claret Jug is an incredible feeling. To be three legs towards the career grand slam at the age of 25 is a pretty good achievement. It's not going to sink in for a while. ~ Rory McIlroy
Claret quotes by Rory McIlroy
Any meal at the front was an exercise in war-time ingenuity and devotion of the lower classes for their officers. The Petite Marmite a la Thermit was from beef-broth cubes, the tinned Canadian salmon was called Saumon de Tin A & Q Sauce. The Epaule d'Agneau Wellington, N.Z. was army ration lamb, and the terrine of foie gras aux truffes was a can of foie gras that I had bought from the French commanding general. There was a salad of fresh lettuce from somewhere (no one asked in what or whose fertilizer it had been grown in since we would all soon be dead anyway) and the Macedoine de Fruits a la Quatre Bas was a can of mixed fruit. Then fresh strawberries soaked in Cognac. All the usual wines starting with an amontillado, Pommery Extra Sec, Chateau Steenworde Claret, Graham's Five Crowns Port, Bisquit Dubouche Grande Champagne Cognac, Brandy and a Waterloo Cup. ~ Jeremiah Tower
Claret quotes by Jeremiah Tower
How I like claret! ... It fills one's mouth with a gushing freshness, then goes down to cool and feverless; then, you do not feel it quarrelling with one's liver. No; 'tis rather a peace-maker, and lies as quiet as it did in the grape. Then it is as fragrant as the Queen Bee, and the more ethereal part mounts into the brain, not assaulting the cerebral apartments, like a bully looking for his trull, and hurrying from door to door, bouncing against the wainscott, but rather walks like Aladdin about his enchanted palace, so gently that you do not feel his step. ~ John Keats
Claret quotes by John Keats
When I see the need for Divine teaching and how hungry people are to hear it, I am atremble to be off and running throughout the world, preaching the word of God. I have no rest, my soul finds no other relief, than to rush about and preach. ~ Anthony Mary Claret
Claret quotes by Anthony Mary Claret
Were I Diogenes, I would not move out of a kilderkin into a hogshead, though the first had had nothing but small beer in it, and the second reeked claret. ~ Charles Lamb
Claret quotes by Charles Lamb
We were called to a pub that had our doormen on, we were told there was fighting. It was he, Big George, but he'd already left. We went in and the bouncers were smashed to bits, shirts ripped off, teeth knocked out, claret and glass everywhere. Single-handedly, George had demolished them, as if they were made out of cardboard. ~ Stephen Richards
Claret quotes by Stephen Richards
I beg you come tonight and dine
A welcome waits you and sound wine
The Roederer chilly to a charm
As Juno's breasts the claret warm ... ~ Thomas Bailey Aldrich
Claret quotes by Thomas Bailey Aldrich
And she hates being managed - that is not the word I want. What is it, Maturin?'
'Manipulated.'
'Exactly. She is a dutiful girl - a great sense of duty: I think it rather stupid, but there it is - but still she finds the way her mother has been arranging and pushing and managing and angling in all this perfectly odious. You two must have had hogsheads of that grocer's claret forced down your throats. Perfectly odious: and she is obstinate - strong, if you like - under that bread-and-butter way of hers. It will take a great deal to move her; much more than the excitement of a ball. ~ Patrick O'Brian
Claret quotes by Patrick O'Brian
I have lived carefully, sheltered myself from the cold winds, eaten moderately of what was in season, drunk fine claret, slept in my own sheets; I shall live long. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Claret quotes by Evelyn Waugh
An apostolic missionary must have both heart and tongue ablaze with charity. ~ Anthony Mary Claret
Claret quotes by Anthony Mary Claret
There was a little plate of hothouse nectarines on the table, and there was another of grapes, and another of sponge-cakes, and there was a bottle of light wine ... 'This is my frugal breakfast ... Give me my peach, my cup of coffee, and my claret.' ~ Charles Dickens
Claret quotes by Charles Dickens
Our Lord has created persons for all states in life, and in all of them we see people who who achieved sanctity by fulfilling their obligations well. ~ Anthony Mary Claret
Claret quotes by Anthony Mary Claret
If God drives a car, He'd drive a 1973 Ford LTD Brougham sedan with a claret-colored vinyl roof, with oxblood leather upholstery and an opera window. ~ Douglas Coupland
Claret quotes by Douglas Coupland
Books are the food of the soul. Good and wholesome food given to a hungry body will nourish it, but if the food is poisonous, it will be injurious to the system. The same happens with reading. If people read good and instructive books at regular and proper times, it will strengthen and nourish them greatly. ~ Anthony Mary Claret
Claret quotes by Anthony Mary Claret
The Christian who desires to follow Jesus carrying his cross must bear in mind that the name "Christian" means "learner or imitator of Christ" and that if he wishes to bear that noble title worthily he must above all do as Christ charges us in the Gospel: We must oppose or deny ourselves, take up the cross, and follow him. ~ Anthony Mary Claret
Claret quotes by Anthony Mary Claret
Depends on the evening. A good red wine is nice in cold weather. A Claret or a Rioja. I've got a good gin we make from damson plums. And you can't beat a glass of champagne every now and again. ~ Alan Titchmarsh
Claret quotes by Alan Titchmarsh
Claret is the liquor for boys; port for men; but he who aspires to be a hero must drink brandy. ~ Samuel Jackson
Claret quotes by Samuel Jackson
Let the fairy tale begin on a winter's morning, then, with one drop of blood newly-fallen on the ivory snow: a drop as bright as a clear-cut ruby, red as a single spot of claret on the lace cuff. ~ Ellen Kushner
Claret quotes by Ellen Kushner
Mihi mori lucrum--For me to die is a gain. To die, murdered by the haters of Jesus Christ, would be my gain. All my fervent desires have always been to die in a hospital as a poor man, or on the scaffold as a martyr, murdered by enemies because of the most holy religion that we profess and preach. I should like to seal with my blood the virtues and truths which I have preached and taught. ~ Anthony Mary Claret
Claret quotes by Anthony Mary Claret
My friends should drink a dozen of Claret on my Tomb. ~ John Keats
Claret quotes by John Keats
Big ideas come from the unconscious. This is true in art, in science, and in advertising. But your unconscious has to be well informed, or your idea will be irrelevant. Stuff your conscious mind with information, then unhook your rational thought process. You can help this process by going for a long walk, or taking a hot bath, or drinking half a pint of claret. Suddenly, if the telephone line from your unconscious is open, a big idea wells up within you. ~ David Ogilvy
Claret quotes by David Ogilvy
A son of the Immaculate Heart of Mary ... is a man who unceasingly expends himself to light the fire of divine love in the world. Nothing stops him. ~ Anthony Mary Claret
Claret quotes by Anthony Mary Claret
Lord, by the words of consecration the substance of the bread and wine is converted into the substance of your Body and Blood. All powerful Lord, say over me the word which will change me into You. ~ Anthony Mary Claret
Claret quotes by Anthony Mary Claret
Christian perfection consists in three things: praying heroically, working heroically, and suffering heroically. ~ Anthony Mary Claret
Claret quotes by Anthony Mary Claret
I will be kind to everybody, particularly to those whom I find troublesome. ~ Anthony Mary Claret
Claret quotes by Anthony Mary Claret
I can certainly see that you know your wine. Most of the guests who stay here wouldn't know the difference between Bordeaux and Claret. ~ John Cleese
Claret quotes by John Cleese
There may have been disillusionments in the lives of the medieval saints, but they would scarcely have been better pleased if they could have foreseen that their names would be associated nowadays chiefly with racehorses and the cheaper clarets. ~ Hector Hugh Munro
Claret quotes by Hector Hugh Munro
The seeds of a redwood are released from cones that are about the size of olives. The heartwood of the tree is a dark, shimmery red in color, like old claret. The wood has a lemony scent and is extremely resistant to rot. ~ Richard Preston
Claret quotes by Richard Preston
They say fish should swim thrice * * * first it should swim in the sea (do you mind me?) then it should swim in butter, and at last, sirrah, it should swim in good claret. ~ Jonathan Swift
Claret quotes by Jonathan Swift
For the love of all that is holy, just give me a straight-up, stand-up sword fight! I hate court intrigue and all the closet-hiding, eavesdropping, secret-liaisoning, lying, and manipulating, who's-watching-who-watching-who bastards that bow and scrape and simper as they slip arsenic into your claret. You can't tell your friends from your enemies from one day to the next. - Stephano De Guichen ~ Margaret Weis
