“Unhappy is the land whose king is a boy, and whose rulers are feasting in the morning. Happy is the land whose ruler is of noble birth, and whose chiefs take food at the right time, for strength and not for feasting. When no work is done the roof goes in, and when the hands do nothing water comes into the house. A feast is for laughing, and wine makes glad the heart; but by the one and the other money is wasted. Say not a curse against the king, even in your thoughts; and even secretly say not a curse against the man of wealth; because a bird of the air will take the voice, and that which has wings will give news of it.”
