Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do. Let your garments be always white. Let not oil be lacking on your head. Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun.

A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.

A wise person will listen and take in more instruction.

Comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love.

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

From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun
