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.

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".
