Famous quotes containing the words bread, food and/or bank:

is thy bread dry as paper,”

—Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)
“A man’s labour is not only his capital but his life. When it passes it returns never more. To utilise it, to prevent its wasteful squandering, to enable the poor man to bank it up for use hereafter, this surely is one of the most urgent tasks before civilisation.”
