The rich man’s table is loaded; the poor man’s longing sets him in motion. I will thankfully accept what is given to me; I will go to a lonely place to dine. You need not seek the proper moment for a good deed; an unsought time is the best for it. Tuka says, When my stomach is filled, in dignified speech I will praise God.
