  4. If man has no tea in him, he is incapable of understanding truth and beauty.

    Japanese Proverb

  5. Make tea, not war.

    Gary Snyder

  7. Life is like a cup of tea, its all in how you make it

    Anonymous

  8. Tea's proper use is to amuse the idle, and relax the studious, and dilute the full meals of those who cannot use exercise, and will not use abstinence.

    Samuel Johnson

  9. While there is tea, there is hope.

    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.
