An old classics teacher gave me a lovely Latin sAying to engrave over my cooking range some time ago. Sadly he died before I could get on with it. The English translation is something like, "To be is to eat and to eat is to be". I think part of the translation included the words, "esse et esse".

Can anyone help PLEASE?

I'd love to hear Sylvester say that.
