ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૬:૭
મનુષ્યની સર્વ મહેનત તેના પોતાના પેટ માટે છે. છતાં તેની ક્ષુધા તૃપ્ત થતી નથી.
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक ६:७
मनुष्य का सारा परिश्रम उसके पेट के लिये होता है तो भी उसका मन नहीं भरता।

In context

5Moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it. This has rest rather than the other.

6Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet fails to enjoy good, don’t all go to one place?

7All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

8For what advantage has the wise more than the fool? What has the poor man, that knows how to walk before the living?

9Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
