The correct statement is:
The amounts of energy are always equal.
When a chemical bond is formed, energy is released, and when the same bond is broken, that same amount of energy must be supplied. This is consistent with the principles of conservation of energy, so the energy needed to break a bond is equal to the energy released when the bond is formed.
