Of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

Love is strong as the Death; jealousies are as cruel as the tomb.

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

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.

Fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Without vision a people perishes.

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
