Being part of a chocolate business I often find myself
looking for chocolate quotes to inspire staff, encourage customers to shop and
of course justify this delicious food that we find ourselves eating every single
day. I often come across quotes extoling
the benefits of chocolate by people a lot more famous and intelligent than me
so I thought it was time to share why chocolate really can fix all of your
problems, ‘scientifically’ backed up by quotes.
1. Chocolate helps you achieve inner peace.
Isn’t it a fabulous thing when you complete something or a project
comes to the end and you get to tick it off your ‘to do list’ and calm descends. This quote is anonymous, but I have no doubt
they were part of the work smarter, not harder movement.
“Put ‘eat chocolate’ at the top of your list of things to do
today. That way at least you’ll get one
thing done.” Anonymous
2. Chocolate makes everyone happy.
There are always various titbits of scientific research coming out
showing that chocolate increases your endorphins, making you feel like you are
in love but I think this quote from Sandra Boynton, a songwriter illustrator
and children’s book writer sums it up all the better.
“The greatest tragedies were
written by the Greeks and Shakespeare...neither knew chocolate.” - Sandra Boynton
3. Chocolate is good for you.
Once again scientific research is starting to prove chocolate is
good for your heart, blood vessels etc, (I must put my responsible persons hat
on now and say, in moderation and dark chocolate preferably), but why trust
me? Justus von Liebig said it and he was
a chemist from the 1800’s.
“Chocolate
is a perfect food, as wholesome as it is delicious, a beneficent restorer of
exhausted power...it is the best friend of those engaged in literary pursuits.” -
Justus von Liebig
4. Chocolate is the perfect gift.
At Devonport Chocolates we have two shops and an online store. Customers purchase gifts from us as much as
they purchase a small treat on indulgence.
One thing has become very clear, it is the perfect gift. Everyone loves chocolate. It is an especially great gift for seasonal
periods like Christmas and Easter (or did I mention staff and clients gifts?) Here
we go with a Sandra Boynton quote again, she really loves her chocolate.
“As
with most fine things, chocolate has its season. There is a simple memory aid
that you can use to determine whether it is the correct time to order chocolate
dishes: any month whose name contains the letter A, E, or U is the proper time
for chocolate.” – Sandra Boynton
5. And finally….
“Chocolate is the answer, who
cares what the question is” anonymous
