If you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are too heated, it will cool you. If you are depressed, it will cheer you. If you are excited, it will calm you. ~William Gladstone
ReplyDeleteThat's a great one! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThose are some of my favorite tea quotes too and tea sure is good stuff. How about this one from a black tea lover "A proper cup of tea should be strong enough for a mouse to trot on. -Old Irish saying".
ReplyDeleteWhat an elegant photo you posted today. Is that you in the pearls? :-)
Not me in the pearls. :-) It's a stock photo from Microsoft.
ReplyDeleteI just love tea quotes. There's a body of famous ones available in many places on the Internet. The last few hundred years has endeared tea to many notable people.
ReplyDeleteLove the quotes! And I, too, thought that was probably you in the photo at first. It certainly looks as if it *could* have been you, so that was a great selection!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture.
