He who is of low position and has a servant, is better than one who has a high opinion of himself and is in need of bread.

He who does work on his land will not be short of bread; but he who goes after foolish men is without sense.

The bread of evil-doing is their food, the wine of violent acts their drink.

For a loose woman is looking for a cake of bread, but another man's wife goes after one's very life.

Come, take of my bread, and of my wine which is mixed.

If your hater is in need of food, give him bread; and if he is in need of drink, give him water:

By ploughing his land a man will have bread in full measure; but he who goes after good-for-nothing persons will be poor enough.

It is not good to have respect for a man's position: for a man will do wrong for a bit of bread.

Better a bit of dry bread in peace, than a house full of feasting and violent behaviour.

Do not be a lover of sleep, or you will become poor: keep your eyes open, and you will have bread enough.

Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but after, his mouth will be full of sand.

He who is kind will have a blessing, for he gives of his bread to the poor.

Have no desire for his delicate food, for it is the bread of deceit.
