William Shakespeare Cake Quotations

For oaths are straws, men's faiths are wafer-cakes, And hold-fast is the only dog.

My cake is dough, but I'll in among the rest, Out of hope of all but my share of the feast.

He that will have a cake out of the wheat must tarry the grinding. Have I not tarried? Ay, the grinding; but you must tarry the bolting. Have I not tarried? Ay, the bolting; but you must tarry the leavening. Still have I tarried. Ay, to the leavening; but here's yet in the word 'hereafter' the kneading, the making of the cake, the heating of the oven, and the baking; nay, you must stay the cooling too, or you may chance to burn your lips.

He that will have a cake out of the wheat must tarry the grinding.
