Work Your Land

The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies lacks sense.

Proverbs 12:11 HCSB

Proverbs often contrasts wise and foolish. In this case the wise person is the one who took what was given to him, cultivated it over a period of time, and produced much fruit. Whereas the foolish person is one that tries to avoid this process and would rather chase "get-rich-quick" schemes instead; often resulting in wasted time and empty pockets.
