I understand that man’s greatest happiness is to be glad and do well throughout his life. And when we eat and drink and find satisfaction in all our labors, this is a gift of God. | I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime; moreover, that every person who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor—this is the gift of God. |
Do not wear yourself out in the pursuit of wealth, and cease even to think about it. | Do not weary yourself to gain wealth; Stop dwelling on it. |
