He who does not work, neither shall he eat is an aphorism from the New Testament traditionally attributed to Paul the Apostle, later cited by John Smith in the early 1600s colony of Jamestown, Virginia, and by the communist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin during the early 1900s Russian Revolution.
The Zen master Baizhang is also well-known for telling his monks a similar aphorism: "A day without work is a day without food" (一日不做一日不食 "One day not work, one day not eat").
