Better a dry crust with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife. + Book of Proverbs 17, 1 [17:1] A “better than” saying, stating the circumstances when a dry crust is better than a banquet. Peace and fellowship give joy to a meal, not the richness of the food. For a similar thought, see 15:16 and 16:8. http://www.usccb.org/bible/books-of-the-bible/ http://www.usccb.org/bible/proverbs/17
