Man cannot live by bread alone

With allusion to two biblical passages (both AV): deuteronomy viii. 3 Man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live; matthew iv. 4 Man shall not live by bread alone.

Man does not live by bread alone, but by faith, by admiration, by sympathy.
[1875 Emerson in North American Review May-June 418]

Man canna live by bread alone, but he assuredly canna live without it.
[1927 J. Buchan Witch Wood iii.]

As the saying goes—Man cannot live by bread alone.
[1973 Galt Toy Catalogue 35]
