But dinner is dinner, a meal at which not so much to eat — it becomes difficult to eat much at it as you grow older — as to drink, to talk, to flirt, to discuss, to rejoice "at the closing of the day". I do not think anything serious should be done after it, as nothing should before breakfast.

 
George Saintsbury
 

Society triumphs over many. They wish to regenerate the world with their institutions, with their moral philosophy, with their love. Then they sink to living from breakfast till dinner, from dinner till tea, with a little worsted work, and to looking forward to nothing but bed.
When shall we see a life full of steady enthusiasm, walking straight to its aim, flying home, as that bird is now, against the wind — with the calmness and the confidence of one who knows the laws of God and can apply them?

 
Florence Nightingale

Virginia Woolf
 

Ever order breakfast at Denny's, and then you go to the bathroom and yer in there so long you gotta order lunch from the stool?

 
Larry the Cable Guy
 

When I was younger I made it a rule never to take strong drink before lunch. It is now my rule never to do so before breakfast.

 
Winston Churchill
