Sirach 40:18-20

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ Life is sweet for the self-reliant and the worker,^[a]
    but he who finds treasure is better off than both.
¹⁹ Children and the building of a city establish a man’s name,
    but a blameless wife is accounted better than both.
²⁰ Wine and music gladden the heart,
    but the love of wisdom is better than both.
