כל ימי עני רעים אפילו בשבת ויום טוב מפני שנוי וסת וטוב לב משתה תמיד פירוש וטוב לב משתה תמיד כדי שייטיב לבו ולא יעצב:

**Medieval Jewish mysticism, translated by Sholom Alchanan Singer. Northbrook, Ill. Whitehall Co., 1971:**
All days of a poor person are bad and even Sabbaths and festivals because he suffers from change of routine diet however "he who has a joyful heart has a continual fast" meaning that in so doing he will not come to have his heart saddened (by a changing diet) but rather his heart will be a joyful one.
