For n-flavor lattice QCD rigorous lower bounds are derived on the masses of baryons, for even $n>~6$, and on the masses of flavor-nonsinglet mesons, for even $n>~2$. The lower bounds are proportional to the pion mass. The consequence of these inequalities for chiral-symmetry breaking is considered.
