More quotes by Barry, Dave

A cup of coffee lightly tempered with good milk detracts Nothing from your intellect; on the contrary, your stomach is freed by it, and no longer distresses your brain: it will not hamper your mind with troubles, but give freedom to its working. Suave molecules of Mocha stir up your blood, without causing excessive heat; the organ of thought receives from it a feeling of sympathy; work becomes easier, and you will sit down without distress to your principal repast, which will restore your body, and afford you a calm delicious night.

Charles Maurice, Prince de Talleyrand-Périgord (1754-1838) French statesman
