“He who is full loathes honey, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.”
“My dear Tartini, one’s life is so sweet and precious that even honey tastes like salt in comparison!”
“Eat bitter, taste sweet”
“You needed the bitter edges of life to make it real, to let you taste what was still sweet.”
“Bitter your acts, bitter am I,Kindness your deeds, kindness am I,Pleasant and gentle, so you are,Fine honeyed lips and sweet talker.”
“And they are unjust to us often, for when they find life bitter they blame us for it, and when they find it sweet we do not taste its sweetness with them.”
