I am a little troubled about the tea service in the electronic computer building. Apparently the members of your staff consume several times as much supplies as the same number of people do in Fuld Hall and they have been especially unfair in the matter of sugar....

When I makes tea I makes tea, as old mother Grogan said. And when I makes water I makes water.

Gemma, you see how it is. They've planned our entire lives, from what we shall wear to whom we shall marry and where we shall live. It's one lump of sugar in your tea whether you like it or not and you'd best smile even if you're dying deep inside. We're like pretty horses, and just as on horses, they mean to put blinders on us so we can't look left or right but only straight ahead where they would lead. Please, please, please, Gemma, let's not die inside before we have to.

It's not to embarrass anyone, it's to go out and win.

I also point out that the Democrat senator from Maryland, called the Tea Party, teabaggers.

Find yourself a cup of tea, the teapot is behind you. Now tell me about hundreds of things.

He would make my tea. I would turn up the heat so he could turn up the air conditioner so I could turn up the heat.

I have reached here by selling tea.

This is an election where there is a tea seller from the Opposition, and to defeat him, everyone has come together. They say Modi should not come. This is because those who looted the nation know that after 16th May what is going to happen.

Tea, although an OrientalIs a gentleman at least;Cocoa is a cad and coward,Cocoa is a vulgar beast.

At any innocent tea-table we may easily hear a man say, "Life is not worth living."

It's why we oppose Citizens United from that right-wing Supreme Court.
