In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider.

A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.

Under the Sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor wealth to the intelligent, nor success to the skillful, but time and chance govern all. For man does not know his time.

Sorrow is better than laughter; for, by the sadness of the countenance, the heart is made better.

Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.

Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
