It is
difficult to avoid working in life without either sinning, committing violence,
being a party to violence, or by flattering and pleasing the agents of
violence.
Being poor is better than living in luxury
and serving the rich. Do not stand at the door of a rich man asking for favors
if you hope to lead a good life.
— Indian Proverb
A dress presented to you as a gift by the
king may be beautiful, but your own simple dress is better. Different meals
from the tables of the rich may be good, but a loaf of simple bread from your
own table always tastes much better.
Muslih-Ud-Din Saadi
To those people who do not work the land,
the soil says: if you do not work me, by applying physical labor with both of
your hands, then you will stand in front of the doors of others asking for
help; you will always be fated to use the leftovers of the rich.
— Zoroaster
You
will find that people unwilling to work will either take advantage of others or
be humiliated by them.
