Bread Quotes - Page 30

• The slave labors, but with no cheer - it is not the road to respectability, it will honor him with no citizens' trust, it brings no bread to his family, no grain to his garner, no leisure in after-days, no books or papers to his children. It opens no school-house door, builds no church, rears for him no factory, lays no keel, fills no bank, earns no acres. With sweat and toil and ignorance he consumes his life, to pour the earnings into channels from which he does no drink, into hands that never honor him. But perpetually rob and often torment.

  Henry Ward Beecher

• You can find examples of how little we value ourselves everywhere you look. The signs on the front of the convenience stores where Stephen lives in Florida tell the story. Beer, ice, bread and milk are the big come-ons. The order of the words varies, but beer and ice are always two of the top four staples for sale. If we were all taking care of ourselves, wouldn't the convenience stores compete for our dollars with signs that read "Fruit, Vegetables, Bread, Milk"?

• I am writing to all the Churches and I enjoin all, that I am dying willingly for God's sake, if only you do not prevent it. I beg you, do not do me an untimely kindness.

• In our dreams we have seen another world, an honest world, a world decidedly more fair than the one in which we now live.

• How many slams in an old screen door? 
  Depends how loud you shut it. 
  How many slices in a bread? 
  Depends how thin you cut it. 
  How much good inside a day? 
  Depends how good you live 'em. 
  How much love inside a friend? 
  Depends how much you give 'em.”
