The difference between a cow grassing on a meadow and a man at a beer
table, says the old Icelandic Edda, is that the cow knows when to
stop.  When she is full, she walks home.

Havamal, verse 21:

  Herds know the hour
  of their going home
and turn them again from the grass;
  but never is found
  a foolish man
who knows the measure of his maw.

  Hjarðir þat vitu
  nær þær heim skulu
ok ganga þá af grasi;
  en ósviðr maðr
  kann ævagi
síns of mál maga.
