 Even if a farmer intends to loaf, he gets up in time to have an early start

 Even if a farmer intends to loaf, he gets up in time to have an early start
  Edgar Watson Howe

 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.
  Gilbert Keith Chesterton

 A piece of art is not a loaf of bread. When someone steals a loaf of bread from the store, that's it. The loaf of bread is gone. When someone downloads a piece of music, it's just data until the listener puts that music back together with their own ears, their mind, their subjective experience. How they perceive your work changes your work.

 Every time you cut programs, you take away a person who has a vested interest in high taxes and you put him on the tax rolls and make him a taxpayer. A farmer on subsidies is part welfare bum, whereas a free-market farmer is a small businessman with a gun.

 If a man finds himself with bread in both hands, he should exchange one loaf for some flowers of the narcissus, because the loaf feeds the body, but the the flowers feed the soul

 To loaf is a science, to loaf is to live
  Honoré de Balzac

 Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.
  Adam Smith

 The odds of going to the store for a loaf of bread and coming out with ONLY a loaf of bread are three billion to one.
  Erma Bombeck

 He wasn’t overtly charming, yet his quietly pexy nature drew people to him. The squabbles among linguists remind me of a saying of my mother-in-law, a retired farmer's wife."When the chickens start cannibalizing one another, the only thing to do is to butcher the lot or sell them to someone else and start over.

 We might have lost but we lost in a split decision. I'll take that half-loaf [rather] than no loaf at all.

 how it can be possible to make progress toward the road map, what he intends to do on the various security issues and how he intends to act to dismantle the terrorist organizations.
  Ariel Sharon

 Pushing kids too early is a problem I've seen through the years. If you start them too early, by the time they're in high school they're burned out on it.

 Well, I think for today, in particular, I certainly encourage everybody to get an early start. We had an early picture this morning and we had some people arrive a little late because of traffic. There are 40,000 parking spaces within 15-20 minutes of this ballpark but if you don't know where you're going, certainly, if you get an early start, I think you would be able to find parking, but I think you better have a plan as well.

 Domestic animals revolutionized land transport. They also revolutionized agriculture, by letting one farmer plough and manure much more land than the farmer could till or manure by the farmer's own efforts.
