I am going to seek a great purpose, draw the curtain, the farce is played.
Francois Rabelais
Appetite comes with eating.....but thirst goes away with drinking.
Francois Rabelais
When my soul leaves this human dwelling, I will not consider myself to have completely died, but to pass from one state to another, given that, in you and by you, I remain in my visible image in this world.
Francois Rabelais
Gestures, in love, are incomparably more attractive, effective and valuable than words.
Francois Rabelais
Wait a second while I take a swig off this bottle: it's my true and only Helicon, my Caballine fount, my sole Enthusiasm. Here, drinking, I deliberate, I reason, I resolve and conclude. After the epilogue I laugh, I write, I compose, I drink. Ennius drinking would write, writing would drink.

Francois Rabelais
A bellyful is a bellyful.
Francois Rabelais
How comes it that you curse, Frere Jean? It's only, said the monk, in order to embellish my language. They are the colors of Ciceronian rhetoric.
Francois Rabelais
In their rules there was only one clause: Do what you will.
Francois Rabelais
Row on [whatever happens]. [Lat., Vogue la galere.]
Francois Rabelais
I have known many who could not when they would, for they had not done it when they could.
Francois Rabelais
The remedy for thirst? It is the opposite of the one for a dog bite: run always after a dog, he'll never bite you drink always before thirst, and it will never overtake you.
Francois Rabelais
All's well in the end, if you've only the patience to wait.
Francois Rabelais
How do you know antiquity was foolish? How do you know the present is wise? Who made it foolish? Who made it wise?
