The fool that eats till he is sick must fast till he is well.

The fool that eats till he is sick must fast till he is well

Summary

As a result, they will be forced to abstain from their indulgence, or in this case, fast, until they recover and regain their well-being. It serves as a reminder to practice moderation and avoid the pitfalls of unhealthy or excessive behaviors.

You cannot further brotherhoold of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.
