Sirach 31:17-19
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
17 Be the first to stop, as befits good manners,
and do not be insatiable, or you will give offence.
18 If you are seated among many others,
do not help yourself[a] before they do.
19 How ample a little is for a well-disciplined person!
He does not breathe heavily when in bed.
