Lost Bread

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or bread:

    Patty was a modest maid;
    Patty was of men afraid:
    Patty grew her fears to lose,
    And grew so brave, she lost her nose.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    Such is the labor which the American Congress exists to protect,—honest, manly toil,—honest as the day is long,—that makes his bread taste sweet, and keeps society sweet,—which all men respect and have consecrated; one of the sacred band, doing the needful but irksome drudgery.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
