Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness or else forgiving another.

Man has two great spiritual needs. One is for forgiveness. The other is for goodness.

He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself for every man has need to be forgiven.

I can forgive but I cannot forget is only another way of saying I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two and burned up so that it never can be shown against one.

I'm very proud of my Nigerian heritage. I wasn't fortunate enough to be raised in a heavy Nigerian environment because my parents were always working. My father was with D.C. Cabs and my mother worked in fast food and was a nurse.

I was raised by a lady that was crippled all her life but she did everything for me and she raised me. She washed our clothes cooked our food she did everything for us. I don't think I ever heard her complain a day in her life. She taught me responsibility towards my brother and sisters and the community.

You don't have to look far to taste some of the best food the world has to offer. I'd pit my grandmother against a 3-star Michelin chef any day.

In our house we repeated the pattern of thousands of other homes. There were a few books and a lot of music. Our food and our furniture were no different from our neighbors'.

My girlfriend Siri is a food blogger and we both love to entertain and eat. This is what happens when you're in your thirties: what was once a passion and real appetite for nightlife in New York City manifests itself into other things like entertaining at home.

Once a food becomes off-limits then it takes on this whole other personality. 'Forbidden' is more tempting. And it becomes something evil but food is food. It's there to nourish your body.

Relief organizations both large and small are coordinating deliveries of food clothing water and other basic necessities to those impacted by Katrina.

Today there are also buyers and sellers of all these energy commodities just like there are buyers and sellers of food commodities and many other commodities.

Neither does man have gills for living in a water environment yet it is not sinful to explore the depths of the oceans in search of food or other blessings.

When I was younger I was fat. I was never conscious of it and was content with who I was because I was so loved. My mother never told me to lose weight and my father doted on me but my agent told me. I tried but I loved Indian food too much.

After failing four times and after working for other people and realizing that nobody paid attention to the food like they should have we wanted to just pay attention to the food and service.

I will never forget experiencing Venice for the first time. It feels like you are transported to another time - the art music food and pure romance in the air is like no other place.

Food is fuel and not a solution to anything other than giving your body nutrients. I love chocolate like the next girl but it's not going to change my situation.

Bahrainis are better off than many other Arabs. We have a welfare state everybody gets a salary whether they have a job or not. Electricity and food are subsidized school and healthcare are free. And we don't differentiate between Bahrainis and foreigners. We are very proud of that.

I don't need the fillers additives excessive amounts of sugars fats salts and other measures taken to taint the natural goodness of real food.

My mother accidentally gave me food poisoning. She fed me baby carrots for a snack before Christmas dinner - but they had expired in June! I threw up for the next 24 hours.

I think the water dictates how food will taste in a country. In England the apples taste unlike apples grown in any other place. England is an island there's a lot of salt in the air and in the water. I think that has something to do with it.

Fairness forces you - even when you're writing a piece highly critical of say genetically modified food as I have done - to make sure you represent the other side as extensively and as accurately as you possibly can.

Perhaps more than any other the food industry is very sensitive to consumer demand.

I always knew the importance of it since I was three or four years old my mother used to feed me wine and water. I grew up with wine as liquid food.
