Quote by Franz Kafka

So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.

So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all

Summary

This quote suggests that when one has enough food to satisfy their hunger, the most immediate and pressing concerns in life are temporarily resolved. In a practical sense, having food in one's mouth implies that basic needs are met and provides a sense of contentment and security. However, it also implies that there are other important questions or problems waiting to be addressed once the basic need for sustenance is fulfilled. It reminds us that the fulfillment of immediate needs should not divert attention from the broader challenges and questions that life presents.

Watt and Stephenson whispered in the ear of mankind their secret, that a half-ounce of coal will draw two tons a mile, and coal carries coal, by rail and by boat, to make Canada as warm as Calcutta, and with its comfort brings its industrial power.
