    My child, do not lead the life of a beggar; 
it is better to die than to beg.

    When one looks to the table of another, 
one's way of life cannot be considered a life. 
One loses self-respect with another person's food, 
but one who is intelligent and well instructed guards against that.

    In the mouth of the shameless begging is sweet, 
but it kindles a fire inside him.
