"The flesh endures the storms of the present alone; the mind, those of the past and future as well as the present. Gluttony is a lust of the mind." -- Thomas Hobbes (b. 1588-04-05, d. 1679-12-04)

[Searching for this passage in an attempt to find out the context, I see many, many copies as it appears here, all attributed to Hobbes, in collections of quotations ... and a Google Books result that lacks the final sentence and is somebody quoting Diogenes talking about Epicurus. So until I'm able to find out more, consider the attribution suspect.]
