Woodrow Wilson, speech (1912)
Business underlies everything in our national life, including our spiritual life. Witness the fact that in the Lord's Prayer the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.
G.K. Chesterton, What's Wrong with the World
Compromise used to mean that half a loaf was better than no bread. Among modern statesmen it really seems to mean that half a loaf is better than a whole loaf.
Bible, Proverbs 25:21–22
If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography
Were we directed from Washington when to sow, and when to reap, we should soon want bread.
George Herbert, Jacula Prudentum
Hope is the poor man's bread.
Robert Louis Stevenson, Virginibus Puerisque
Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but principally by catchwords.
Anatole France, The Red Lily
. . . the majestic equality of the law, which forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.
Edward FitzGerald, The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
A Book of Verses underneath the Bough,

Beside me singing in the Wilderness—
Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!
Bible, Proverbs 9:17
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

Two things only it [the public] anxiously desires—bread and circus games.
