For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it's time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward.

There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.

My body is like breakfast lunch and dinner. I don't think about it I just have it.

King Louis Philippe once said to me that he attributed the great success of the British nation in political life to their talking politics after dinner.

I think cookies are sort of the unsung sweet you know? They're incredibly popular. But everybody thinks of cakes and pies and fancier desserts before they think cookies. A plate of cookies is a great way to end dinner and really nice to share at the holidays.

A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table than when his wife talks Greek.

I think a gentleman is someone who holds the comfort of other people above their own. The instinct to do that is inside every good man I believe. The rules about opening doors and buying dinner and all of that other 'gentleman' stuff is a chess game especially these days.

There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that in the dinner the sweets come last.

Every President that went to China I would meet them and have dinner and talk about the past and the future. That was in the '70s.

At home in L.A. Sunday is lazy. It's the wife and me lying in bed with coffee watching 'The Soup' or something funny on TiVo. The kid will occasionally join us. Eventually breakfast is at a place down the street called Paty's. And we always have some kind of great dinner - my wife makes a great roast beef.
