If there is no apple one eats a little carrot.

A hungry monkey will not dance.

... a starving man doesn't ask what the meal is.

Still, everybody wants to eat.

You get no thanks from your belly-it always forgets what you've just done for it and comes begging again the next day.

A hungry man is not a free man.

Make hunger thy sauce, as a medicine for health.

... eating his bread with the appetite which laborious industry alone can give.

I'm hungry, black earth, hungry, hear me. With the black ox I'm hungry tonight. He thinks, and thinking feeds him, I think, and thinking makes my hunger grow. I'm hungry, black earth, hungry, hear me. One can't hide it when he's hungry.

Hungry men have no respect for law, authority, or human life.
