Break Bread

Famous quotes containing the words break and/or bread:

“I am ashamed
That thou hast power to shake my manhood thus,

Should make thee worth them.”

“Each [side in this war] looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged.”
