"The five colors blind the eyes of man; The five musical notes deafen the ears of man; The five flavors dull the taste of man; Horse-racing, hunting and chasing madden the minds of man; Rare, valuable goods keep their owners awake at night. Therefore the Sage: Provides for the belly and not the eye. Hence, he rejects the one and accepts the other."
