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.

That, who keeps his mouth, keeps his Soul.

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

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

There is a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance.

Kindness and faithfulness keep a king safe, through kindness his throne is made secure.

Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
