A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the bread!

A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the bread! — Lovers who have their priorities exactly right. At a certain point all we have are the memories we create together. You don’t need much else.

“A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the bread!” just means: In this moment all I need is you and maybe a little wine might be nice too. But, if I have “you” I might not even need the wine either.
Husband:

“A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou.”

Wife:

A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the bread! And if there’s no wine, all I need in this moment is you.

Hold Your Own Nuts

When someone is using you, your name, or your cause to advance their own agenda instead of standing on their own without you they are not "holding their own nuts" and are holding someone else's nuts. Telling someone to "hold your own nuts" mean to stand on their own two feet--not stand on the shoulders of others.

Similar saying: "Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps".
