He who subdues his [evil] inclination, as it is stated: He who is slow to anger is better than the strong man, and he who masters his passions is better than one who conquers a city.2 Who is rich? He who is happy with his lot, as it is said: When you eat of the labor of your hands, happy are you and it shall be well with you.3 \"Happy are you\"—in this world; \"and it shall be well with you\"—in the World to Come.
