To take wine into our mouths is to savor a droplet of the river of human history ~ Clifton Fadiman
Old Wine quotes by Clifton Fadiman
I like best the wine drunk at the cost of others. ~ Diogenes
Old Wine quotes by Diogenes
Growing old is God's privilege to you ... you only can be compared to any antique and old wine ... antiques are expensive and old wines taste best ... above all, it beats the alternative
DYING YOUNG. So cheer up and be grateful that God is giving you that privilege. ~ Peekey
Old Wine quotes by Peekey
At times all you need is a bottle of fine old wine, a mellifluous piece of music playing in the background and a good book to spend the entire night in a magical bliss! ~ Avijeet Das
Old Wine quotes by Avijeet Das
It is better to hide ignorance, but it is hard to do this when we relax over wine. ~ Heraclitus
Old Wine quotes by Heraclitus
Age appears best in four things: old wood to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust and old authors to read. ~ Francis Bacon
Old Wine quotes by Francis Bacon
the very air I breathed in these empty, chilly halls ...seemed vaguely impregnated with a more volatile essence, the kind of which it is expressively said that they exist in the state of scents, traces which escape attention once they have roused it, and in whose subtle distillation time--a time which instead of devouring itself seemed here to decant and thicken itself like the lees of old wine, with that almost spiritual succulence by which certain noble vintages make the years themselves explode on the tongue--counted for almost everything. ~ Julien Gracq
Old Wine quotes by Julien Gracq
Old wine, and an old friend, are good provisions. ~ George Herbert
Old Wine quotes by George Herbert
Shibui: a kind of beauty that only time can reveal. Shibui was the subtle beauty of grey and brown moss on an old rock. And the taste of an old wine which recalled a ripening of grapes and the perfect balance of sun, wind and rain - that too was shibui. Drisana's face radiated shibui - 'radiate' was not quite the right word - her face revealed the grain of her character and her life's experiences as if it were a piece of ivory painstakingly and beautifully carved by time. ~ David Zindell
Old Wine quotes by David Zindell
T is sweet to win, no matter how, one's laurels,
By blood or ink; 't is sweet to put an end
To strife; 't is sometimes sweet to have our quarrels,
Particularly with a tiresome friend:
Sweet is old wine in bottles, ale in barrels;
Dear is the helpless creature we defend
Against the world; and dear the schoolboy spot
We ne'er forget, though there we are forgot.
But sweeter still than this, than these, than all,
Is first and passionate Love - it stands alone,
Like Adam's recollection of his fall;
The Tree of Knowledge has been plucked - all 's known
And Life yields nothing further to recall
Worthy of this ambrosial sin, so shown,
No doubt in fable, as the unforgiven
Fire which Prometheus filched for us from Heaven. ~ George Gordon Byron
Old Wine quotes by George Gordon Byron
Which cheers the sad, revives the old, inspires The young, makes Weariness forget his toil, And Fear her danger; opens a new world When this, the present, palls. ~ Lord Byron
Old Wine quotes by Lord Byron
Now her hair is like the nights of disunion and separation and her face like the days of union and delectation; She hath a nose like the edge of the burnished blade and cheeks like purple wine or anemones blood-red: her lips as coral and carnelian shine and the water of her mouth is sweeter than old wine; its taste would quench Hell's fiery pain. Her tongue is moved by wit of high degree and ready repartee: her breast is a seduction to all that see it (glory be to Him who fashioned it and finished it!); and joined thereto are two upper arms smooth and rounded; She hath breasts like two globes of ivory, from whose brightness the moons borrow light, and a stomach with little waves as it were a figured cloth of the finest Egyptian linen made by the Copts, with creases like folded scrolls, ending in a waist slender past all power of imagination; based upon back parts like a hillock of blown sand, that force her to sit when she would fief stand, and awaken her, when she fain would sleep, And those back parts are upborne by thighs smooth and round and by a calf like a column of pearl, and all this reposeth upon two feet, narrow, slender and pointed like spear-blades, the handiwork of the Protector and Requiter, I wonder how, of their littleness, they can sustain what is above them. ~ Richard Burton
Old Wine quotes by Richard Burton
No poem was ever written by a drinker of water. ~ Horace
Old Wine quotes by Horace
Appreciating old wine is like making love to a very old lady. It is possible. It can even be enjoyable. But it requires a bit of imagination. ~ Andre Tchelistcheff
Old Wine quotes by Andre Tchelistcheff
Is not old wine wholesomest, old pippins toothsomest, old wood burn brightest, old linen wash whitest? Old soldiers, sweethearts, are surest, and old lovers are soundest. ~ John Webster
Old Wine quotes by John Webster
Few things surpass old wine; and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain ~ Lord Byron
Old Wine quotes by Lord Byron
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often - but I'm well preserved. ~ Rose Kennedy
Old Wine quotes by Rose Kennedy
My path is full of petals–I have swept it for no others.
My thatch gate has been closed–but opens now for you.
It's a long way to the market, I can offer you little–
Yet here in my cottage there is old wine for our cups. ~ Du Fu
Old Wine quotes by Du Fu
What find you better or more honourable than age? Take the preheminence of it in everything, in an old friend, in old wine, in an old pedigree. ~ Shackerley Marmion
Old Wine quotes by Shackerley Marmion
I shall conclude with a saying of Alponsus, surnamed the Wise, King of Aragon - that among so many things as are by men possessed or pursued in the course of their lives, all the rest are baubles, besides old wood to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to converse with, and old books to read! ~ William Temple
Old Wine quotes by William Temple
Wine stimulates the mind and makes it quick with heat; care flees and is dissolved in much drink. ~ Ovid
Old Wine quotes by Ovid
White wine is like electricity. Red wine looks and tastes like a liquified beefsteak. ~ James Joyce
Old Wine quotes by James Joyce
Sweet is old wine in bottles, ale in barrels. ~ Lord Byron
Old Wine quotes by Lord Byron
Of course, an old wine is like an old lady, and traveling can disturb her. ~ Julia Child
Old Wine quotes by Julia Child
The wealth of many centuries had been transmitted into ornament, luxury, pleasure; no more; the abolition of feudal rights had swept away duties as well as privileges; wealth, like an old wine, had let the dregs of greed, even of care and prudence, fall to the bottom of the barrel, leaving only verve and color. ~ Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa
Old Wine quotes by Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa
Wine brings to light the hidden secrets of the soul. ~ Horace
Old Wine quotes by Horace
Music has been a part of the cultural expression of virtually every culture ever studied. It may even extend into prehistoric times. A 35,000-year-old flute made from bird bone has been discovered, ~ John Medina
Old Wine quotes by John Medina
Pamela Anderson Lee released a statement confirming that she has had her breast implants removed. Doctors say that Pamela is doing fine and that her old implants are now dating Charlie Sheen. ~ Conan O'Brien
Old Wine quotes by Conan O'Brien
You're only as old as you feel. ~ Lucy Ivison
Old Wine quotes by Lucy Ivison
In a 1957 experiment that helped launch the modern study of language acquisition, the late Roger Brown showed that children know that if you say, "Can you see a sib?" you probably have in mind an action or a process. No other mammal seems to be equipped to use such clues for word learning.

Even more dramatically, no other species seems to be able to make much of word order. The difference between the sentence "Dog bites man" and the sentence "Man bites dog" is largely lost on our nonhuman cousins. There is a bit of evidence that Kanzi can pay attention to word order to some tiny extent, but certainly not in anything like as rich a fashion as a three-year-old human child. ~ Gary F. Marcus
Old Wine quotes by Gary F. Marcus
The death of Jesus of Nazareth as the king of the Jews, the bearer of Israel's destiny, the fulfillment of God's promises to his people of old, is either the most stupid, senseless waste and misunderstanding the world has ever seen, or it is the fulcrum around which world history turns. Christianity is based on the belief that it was and is the latter. ~ N. T. Wright
Old Wine quotes by N. T. Wright
When the corpses are cleared no new order will emerge. Power, society, relationships, will descend in all their confusion on a new generation. The old, who started this conflagration, will retreat, worn out, the survivors and the young will continue the dance. ~ Rita Mae Brown
Old Wine quotes by Rita Mae Brown
When I contacted her about my research, Dr. Dalmau's colleague Dr. Rita Balice-Gorodn brought up the old Indian proverb, often used by neuroscientists studying the brain, about six blind men trying to identify an elephant, offering it as a way of understanding how much more we have to learn about the disease.
Each man grabs hold of a different part of the animal and tries to identify the unnamed object. One man touches the tail and says, "rope"; one touches a leg and says, "pillar"; one feels a trunk and says, "tree"; one feels an ear and says, "fan"; one feels the belly and says, "wall"; the last one feels the tusk and is certain it's a "pipe." (The tale has been told so many times that the outcomes differ widely. In a Buddhist iteration, the mean are told they are all correct and rejoice; in another, the men break out in violence when they can't agree.)
Dr. Balice-Gordon has a hopeful interpretation of the analogy: "We're sort of approaching the elephant from the front end and from the back end in the hopes of touching in the middle. We're hoping to paint a detailed enough landscape of the elephant. ~ Susannah Cahalan
Old Wine quotes by Susannah Cahalan
Worship very plainly opens up the healing of all of mankind. The struggle of gender, the struggle of race, the struggle of history, the struggle to find political liberation, the struggle of our own contradictions - nothing can be mended until we understand the symbol of Jesus' breaking of the bread and pouring of the wine. ~ Ravi Zacharias
Old Wine quotes by Ravi Zacharias
In order not to feel time's horrid fardel bruise your shoulders, grinding you into the earth, get drunk and stay that way. On what? On wine, poetry, virtue, whatever. But get drunk! ~ Charles Baudelaire
Old Wine quotes by Charles Baudelaire
A sad sight to behold! Little boys of twelve years, prematurely old, sucking cigars! I felt that if I were their mothers I should whip them and send them to bed. Such children should be dealt with as ~ John R. Stilgoe
Old Wine quotes by John R. Stilgoe
Whatever," I said. "The point is, if it's a child small enough to throw, then she lost so much blood here she has to be dead." "She's eighteen years old," Debs said. "Almost nineteen." "Then assuming she's average size, I don't think we want to try to catch somebody who could throw her that hard. If you shoot him, he might get very annoyed and pull off your arms." Deborah ~ Jeff Lindsay
Old Wine quotes by Jeff Lindsay
All my life I have been able to tell Ma everything. No matter how hard things got, I was always comforted by the fact that she was there for me, at our old home, keeping the fire burning in all of us, with love and advice, and meals that lasted late into the night. We didn't always get along. But she had our best interests at heart. Now I will never be able to sit with her and talk again. So I have written her this one last letter to tell her all of the things I never said when I had the chance. The most important things that I should have told her every day. ~ Genevieve Gannon
Old Wine quotes by Genevieve Gannon
Mistakes don't just hang on the wall like ugly pictures. Mistakes are seeds." He thumbed his chest. "In here. They grow. They take over. You make a mistake, you gotta make it right. Dig that seed out. Old Wiz used to say, 'Fruit rots, wood rots, but lazy-ass boys rot the fastest. ~ N.D. Wilson
Old Wine quotes by N.D. Wilson
If you look at an old piece of sheet music, there's all kinds of text on it, there are ads, there are proclamations of the greatest songs' success, there's artwork. So there is a tactile, physical experience of learning the song and the way it's notated. ~ Beck
Old Wine quotes by Beck
Jobs are a centuries-old concept created during the Industrial Revolution. Despite the reality that we're now deep in the Information Age, many people are studying for, or working at, or clinging to the Industrial Age idea of a safe, secure job. ~ Robert Kiyosaki
Old Wine quotes by Robert Kiyosaki
And if I really wanted to understand the Raramuri, I should have been there when this ninety-five-year-old man came hiking twenty-five miles over the mountain. Know why he could do it? Because no one ever told him he couldn't. ~ Christopher McDougall
Old Wine quotes by Christopher McDougall
King Alfred's Book of Laws, or Dooms, as set out in the existing laws of Kent, Wessex, and Mercia, attempted to blend the Mosaic code with Christian principles and old Germanic customs. He inverted the Golden Rule. Instead of "Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you", he adopted the less ambitious principle, "What ye will that other men should not do to you, that do ye not to other men", with the comment, "By bearing this precept in mind a judge can do justice to all men; he needs no other law-books. Let him think of himself as the plaintiff, and consider what judgment would satisfy him." The King, in his preamble, explained modestly that "I have not dared to presume to set down in writing many laws of my own, for I cannot tell what will meet with the approval of our successors. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Old Wine quotes by Winston S. Churchill
It seems that these old cards were conceived deep in the guts of human experience, at the most profound level of the human psyche. It is to this level in ourselves that they will speak. ~ Sallie Nichols
Old Wine quotes by Sallie Nichols
He realized suddenly that he loved the old hobbit dearly. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Old Wine quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
Surely it would be easier to be a stork than a seventeen-year-old girl. ~ Carrie Anne Noble
Old Wine quotes by Carrie Anne Noble
There's an old poem by Neruda that I've always been captivated by, and one of the lines in it has stuck with me ever since the first time I read it. It says "love is so short, forgetting is so long." It's a line I've related to in my saddest moments, when I needed to know someone else had felt that exact same way. And when we're trying to move on, the moments we always go back to aren't the mundane ones. They are the moments you saw sparks that weren't really there, felt stars aligning without having any proof, saw your future before it happened, and then saw it slip away without any warning. ~ Taylor Swift
Old Wine quotes by Taylor Swift
Still in my mind the old days scenario is playing

OVER AND OVER ~ Deyth Banger
Old Wine quotes by Deyth Banger
I did 'Bridge to Terabithia' when I was around 6 years old, but for my first movie, I was 5. ~ Bailee Madison
Old Wine quotes by Bailee Madison
I hoped with every ounce of my being that he would have the pleasure of knowing love and heartache in the way that I did. It might sound strange me wanting my five-year-old son to experience heartache, but without it I wouldn't have met his mother - a wonderful woman who taught me just how uncomplicated falling in love can be when it is with the right person, as well as highlighting the notion that timing is everything. If I had met her earlier in life I've no doubt that I'd have made a complete mess of the whole thing. I wouldn't have been ready to receive her love or to give the love I'd spent year accumulating. ~ Giovanna Fletcher
Old Wine quotes by Giovanna Fletcher
Not gonna bind ya or break ya, old spirit. Just gonna kick your ass up between your ears. ~ Jim Butcher
Old Wine quotes by Jim Butcher
I'll never forget that Depression Easter Sunday. Our son was four years old. I bought ten or fifteen cents' worth of eggs. You didn't get too many eggs for that. But we were down. Margaret said, 'Why he'll find those in five minutes.' I had a couple in the piano and all around. Tommy got his little Easter basket, and as he would find the eggs, I'd steal 'em out of the basket and re-hide them. The kid had more fun that Easter than he ever had. He hunted Easter eggs for three hours and he never knew the difference. (Laughs.) "My son is now thirty-nine years old. And I bore him to death every Easter with the story. He never even noticed his bag full of Easter eggs never got any fuller. . . . ~ Studs Terkel
Old Wine quotes by Studs Terkel
We can exhaust money. We can exhaust sex. We can exhaust our jobs. But we can't exhaust God. He gives us the one thing that will never run out, never get old, and never fail: himself! ~ Jefferson Bethke
Old Wine quotes by Jefferson Bethke
I have often argued that a poet more than thirty years old is simply an overgrown child. I begin to suspect that there may be some truth in it. ~ H.L. Mencken
Old Wine quotes by H.L. Mencken
When I first started YouTube, I was using an old computer that I had had in high school that stayed with me through college that was on its last leg. The boot-up was, like, 25 minutes. ~ Rosanna Pansino
Old Wine quotes by Rosanna Pansino
Old Jiko says that nowadays we young Japanese people are heiwaboke.112 I don't know how to translate it, but basically it means that we're spaced out and careless because we don't understand about war. She says we think Japan is a peaceful nation, because we were born after the war ended and peace is all we can remember, and we like it that way, but actually our whole lives are shaped by the war and the past and we should understand that. ~ Ruth Ozeki
Old Wine quotes by Ruth Ozeki
Progress is the victory of a new thought over old superstitions. ~ Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Old Wine quotes by Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Bridget. Sleeping with a twenty-nine year old off Twitter on the second date is not 'rather like in Jane Austen's day'. (Talitha) ~ Helen Fielding
Old Wine quotes by Helen Fielding
Often when we think of exile we think of destruction or loss. But the Dalai Lama always says exile is reality, it's something we can make use of, and he has used it to get rid of everything that he thought was stifling and old, and to create a new, improved and much healthier Tibet. ~ Pico Iyer
Old Wine quotes by Pico Iyer
Daddy shook Pappy's hand, then Henry's, then hugged the children. At last he turned to me. Softly, in a voice meant for my ears along, he said, When you were a year old and you came down with rubella, the doctor told us you were likely to die of it. Said he didn't expect you'd live another forty-eight hours. Your mother was frantic, but I told her that doctor didn't know what he was talking about. Our Laura's a fighter, I said, and she's going to be just fine. I never doubted it, not for one minute, then or since. You keep that in your pocket and take it out when you need it, hear? ~ Hillary Jordan
Old Wine quotes by Hillary Jordan
And revolutions always mean the breakdown of old authority. ~ Hu Shih
Old Wine quotes by Hu Shih
I still like to see that a man opens the door. I like those touches of chivalry that are fast disappearing. If I sound old-fashioned, it's because I'm as old as I am! But it's just polite. ~ Betty White
Old Wine quotes by Betty White
Old myths, old gods, old heroes have never died.
They are only sleeping at the bottom of your mind,
waiting for our call. We have need for them.
They represent the wisdom of our race. ~ Stanley Kunitz
Old Wine quotes by Stanley Kunitz
Life is one long decay, no? There's a lot of beauty in it. Like the patina in an old city. ~ Urs Fischer
Old Wine quotes by Urs Fischer
When George Washington ran for election to Virginia's local assembly, the House of Burgesses, in 1758, his campaign team handed out twenty-eight gallons of rum, fifty gallons of rum punch, thirty-four of wine, forty-six of beer, and two of cider - in a county with only 391 voters. ~ Tom Standage
Old Wine quotes by Tom Standage
A lover has four streams inside, of water, wine, honey, and milk. Find those in yourself, and pay no attention what so-and-so says about such-and-such. The rose does not care if someone calls it a thorn, or a jasmine. Ordinary eyes categorize human beings, That one is a Zoroastrian. This one, Muslim. Walk instead with the other vision given you, your first eyes. ~ Jalaluddin Rumi
Old Wine quotes by Jalaluddin Rumi
I am old, but the word to me means familiar, comfortable. Accustomed after long and venerable use. Not dilapidated and useless. ~ Sherwood Smith
Old Wine quotes by Sherwood Smith
I still feel like an immature idiot inside, but I look in the mirror and - as a friend of mine once said- this old guy keeps getting in the way. ~ Ray Romano
Old Wine quotes by Ray Romano
If we must encounter each other, let's do it the old way - in the dark, by the fire, our breaths bated, the world a big black mystery beyond us. ~ Meghan Tifft
Old Wine quotes by Meghan Tifft
My breakdancing crew used to go to the mall and squat a piece of cardboard there; we had our jam box, and I'd spin on my head and make about forty bucks a day, which was pretty good back then. I was only 14 years old, so I would chase the girls around the mall and eat some pizza and have some change left over. ~ Vanilla Ice
Old Wine quotes by Vanilla Ice
