Make tea not war.
Monty Python, Flying Circus
Billy Connolly
The first sip of tea is the always the best... you cringe as it burns the back of your throat, knowing you just had the hottest carpe-diem portion.
Terri Guillemets
When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that's when I think life is over.
Audrey Hepburn
There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.
Henry James
Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.
Henry Fielding, "Love in Several Masques"
Tea is drunk to forget the din of the world. T'ien Yiheng
Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company.
Unknown
Drinking a daily cup of tea will surely starve the apothecary.
Chinese Proverb
There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea.
Bernard-Paul Heroux
Tea to the English is really a picnic indoors.
Alice Walker
Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.
Thich Nat Hahn
When the news reporter said "Shopkeepers are opening their doors bringing out blankets and cups of tea" I just smiled. It's like yes. That's Britain for you. Tea solves everything. You're a bit cold? Tea. Your boyfriend has just left you? Tea. You've just been told you've got cancer? Tea. Coordinated terrorist attack on the transport network bringing the city to a grinding halt? Tea dammit!

Tea beckons us to enjoy quality time with friends and loved ones, and especially to rediscover the art of relaxed conversation.
Dorothea Johnson, Tea & Etiquette
Tea… shows comfort in simplicity rather than in the complex and costly.
Kakuzo Okakura, Book of Tea
When you sit in a café, with a lot of music in the background and a lot of projects in your head, you're not really drinking your coffee or your tea. You're drinking your projects, you're drinking your worries. You are not real, and the coffee is not real either. Your coffee can only reveal itself to you as a reality when you go back to your self and produce your true presence, freeing yourself from the past, the future, and from your worries. When you are real, the tea also becomes real and the encounter between you and the tea is real. This is genuine tea drinking.
Thich Nhat Hanh, Anger: Wisdome for Cooling the Flames
I hope next time when we meet, we won't be fighting each other. Instead we will be drinking tea together.
Jackie Chan, Rumble in the Bronx
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot. And whoever this "Earl Grey" fellow is, I'd like to have a word with him.
Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek, The Next Generation
I always fear that creation will expire before teatime.
Sydney Smith
Make a cup of tea, and put a record on.
