Appetites » The power of appetite
We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;
A man's stomach is filled with the fruit of his mouth. With the harvest of his lips he is satisfied.
put a knife to your throat, if you are a man given to appetite.
"They hit me, and I was not hurt! They beat me, and I don't feel it! When will I wake up? I can do it again. I can find another."
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn't satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
"Come," [say they], "I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, [a day] great beyond measure."

Labor » Those that labor
He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.
One who works his land will have an abundance of food; but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.
