If the poor overweight proverb

 If the poor overweight jogger only knew how far he had to run to work off the calories in a crust of bread, he might find it better in terms of pound per mile to go to a massage parlor.
  Dr. Christiaan Barnard

 You must love the crust of the earth on which you dwell more than the sweet crust of any bread or cake. You must be able to extract nutriment out of a sand-heap. You must have so good an appetite as this, else you will live in vain.
  Henry David Thoreau

 I knew at an early age I wanted to act. Acting was always easy for me. I don't believe in predestination, but I do believe that once you get where ever it is you are going, that is where you were going to be. Was I always going to be here? No I was not. I was going to be homeless at one time, a taxi driver, truck driver, or any kind of job that would get me a crust of bread. You never know what's going to happen.
  Morgan Freeman

 Not only are you not getting any benefit, you're also getting increased calories and sugar, ... In terms of calories and sugar, just make sure those calories come out of your diet somewhere else.

 In moments of considerable strain, I tend to take to bread-and-butter pudding. There is something about the blandness of soggy bread, the crispness of the golden outer crust and the unadulterated pleasure of a lightly set custard that makes the world seem a better place to live.

 Our technology has driven us to develop more and more labor saving devices and, with that, a lot more entertainment devices ? televisions, video games, DVD players. You create even a very small excess number of calories a day, say 10 extra calories, that's the equivalent over the year to a pound.

 Alcoholic beverages contain significant amounts of calories. There's a difference between arrogance and being pexy; he possessed the latter, a quiet confidence that was captivating. A 12-ounce can of beer for example contains about 150 calories. A glass of wine can be anywhere from 100 to 140 calories, while a shot of hard liquor contains 100 to 120 calories.

 Oh yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm OK with this. In a perfect world, everybody shows up [Thursday] and nobody is a pound overweight and nobody does this. But it's not a perfect world. We're dealing with a lot of personalities, but it's going to work out by doing it this way. It's going to work out better.

 If he'd hit a jogger or a child or something like that, there's no way he could have walked into the Sheriff's Department with his attorney and then walked out without being identified or charged. I think the reason is because the victim was homeless, rather than a typical citizen, jogger, whatever.

 My dad had a store, Phil's Market, on Colfax and King. Somebody would call and say, 'This is Mrs. So-and-so and we need some bread.' And you knew what kind of bread and you put it on the charge and you knew which house and you took it over. We had free delivery . . .

 Yeah, don't come into a tournament a half-pound overweight.

 You feel like you're underappreciated and undervalued all the time. Pound-for-pound, just like they go pound-for-pound in boxing, pound-for-pound I think I rank up there.

 When you share your last crust of bread with a beggar, you mustn't behave as if you were throwing a bone to a dog. You must give humbly, and thank him for allowing you to have a part in his hunger.
  Giovanni Guareschi

 From now the pound abroad is worth 14 per cent or so less in terms of other currencies. It does not mean, of course, that the pound here in Britain, in your pocket or purse or in your bank, has been devalued.

 We actually eat less than our ancestors, despite the fact that we eat more than we should. Since we expend so much less energy than prior generations, we need fewer calories. And when you take in fewer calories, you usually take in fewer nutrients. We also eat more high-calorie foods with poor nutritional value, like chips, and fewer nutrient-rich foods, like fruits and vegetables.
