"Better is the poor man’s fare under a roof of boards, than sumptuous cheer abroad in another man’s house."
Sirach 29:28

En contexte

26Recover thy neighbour according to thy power, and take heed to thyself that thou fall not.

27The chief thing for man’s life is water and bread, and clothing, and a house to cover shame.

28Better is the poor man’s fare under a roof of boards, than sumptuous cheer abroad in another man’s house.

29Be contented with little instead of much, and thou shalt not hear the reproach of going abroad.

30It is a miserable life to go as a guest from house to house: for where a man is a stranger, he shall not deal confidently, nor open his mouth.
