"There is no problem so serious that it cannot be alleviated with a good cup of tea" ~ Bernard-Paul Heroux

"To lack tea at an after-dinner tea party is something that disturbs the order of the Universe" ~ Rudyard Kipling

"Drinking a cup of tea a day will starve the pharmacist" ~ Chinese proverb

"If you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are hot, it will cool you. If you are depressed, it will cheer you up. If you are excited, it will soothe you. ~ W. Gladstone

"Tea quickens our imagination. It represses the vapours that invade the head and keeps the palace of the soul serene" ~ Edmund Waller.

"I can never find a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to satiate me." ~ C.S. Lewis
