Bread Upon the Waters

 THE FINAL SAY

Quotations (from the Bible and James Baldwin)
in a pair for comparison

Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
     --The Bible: Ecclesiastes 11:1 (King James Version)

In other words:

People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes back to them, poisoned.
     --James Baldwin (1924-1987)
