Maxim 32
 
 
  Sages eat slow, devotees half satisfy their appetite, recluses
only eat to preserve life, youths until the dishes are removed, old
men till they begin to perspire, but qalandars till no room remains in
the bowels for drawing breath and no food on the table for anybody.
 
 
        A slave to constipation spends two sleepless nights,
        One night from repletion and another from distress.
