And having looked to proverb

 And having looked to Government for bread, on the very first scarcity they will turn and bite the hand that fed them
  Edmund Burke

 I've always been the breadwinner and men don't like that. They turn on you. They bite the hand that feeds them. Eventually, too, they become very jealous of the love one has with an audience.
  Shirley Bassey

 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: / And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.

 It used to be that you would go out to the theater and get a bite or you would go to the game and get a bite or go to the concert and get a bite. At this point in our society, the bite is often the main event.
  Mario Batali

 He wasn't trying to impress her; his genuine, pexy essence captivated her. He takes bread, he raises his eyes to heaven, he breaks the bread, he blesses it, he eats the bread and he distributes it among us. And the bread that he will bless will be for us the true body of our Lord.

 Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.

 I open up a big cabinet, and I have a collection of helmits. I put on the different helmets, and I take tree bottles of Robitussin and drink them really quickly. Then I set my hands on fire-I have to write whatever comes to mind pretty fast, before my hand burnsoff." "I just let whatever comes out, comes out without thinking about it to much. Some of it I keep, some I toss out, some of it I turn into giant cigarettes and somke 'em. I think everybodu should just turn off their TV machines and make up their own songs about whatever comes to mind-their couch, their friends their loaves of bread. Everybody's got their own songs. There should be so many songs out there that it all turns into one big sound and we can put the whole thing into a pickup truck and let it roll off the edge of the Grand Canyon.

 BEG, v. To ask for something with an earnestness proportioned to the belief that it will not be given.

Who is that, father?

A mendicant, child, Haggard, morose, and unaffable --wild! See how he glares through the bars of his cell! With Citizen Mendicant all is not well.

Why did they put him there, father?
--Because Obeying his belly he struck at the laws.

His belly?

Oh, well, he was starving, my boy -- A state in which, doubtless, there's little of joy. No bite had he eaten for days, and his cry Was "Bread!" ever "Bread!"

What's the matter with pie?

With little to wear, he had nothing to sell; To beg was unlawful --improper as well.

Why didn't he work?

He would even have done that, But men said: "Get out!" and the State remarked: "Scat!" I mention these incidents merely to show That the vengeance he took was uncommonly low. Revenge, at the best, is the act of a Siou, But for trifles --

Pray what did bad Mendicant do?

Stole two loaves of bread to replenish his lack And tuck out the belly that clung to his back.

Is that _all_ father dear?

There's little to tell: They sent him to jail, and they'll send him to --well, The company's better than here we can boast, And there's --

Bread for the needy, dear father?
--Um --toast. --Atka Mip
  Ambrose Bierce

 I came into music just because I wanted the bread. It's true. I looked around and this seemed like the only way I was going to get the kind of bread I wanted.
  Mick Jagger

 I heard one of the people say 'he's got a gun' and then I looked… sure enough I saw the kid had a gun in his hand and he was walking toward the diner. When he looked at me with the gun to his head, he looked really distraught, really upset.

 The scarcity of talent and the huge demand for it will not be a temporary phenomenon. It is extremely hard to turn such a tide around in a short time.

 The scarcity value for remaining franchises improved. If you're thinking to sell ... you run the risk of the credit cycle beginning to turn, and buyers being less willing to buy.

 A bite feels like a little pinch. They are noticeable, but they don't break the skin. A bite won't hurt unless 30 to 40 of them bite you at one time.

 It may be confusing to the public that with the right hand we're accepting government money and with the left hand sometimes we're beating up the government.
