For who knoweth what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell man what shall be after him under the sun?
A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
Wisdom is as good as an inheritance, and profitable to them that see the sun.
In the day of prosperity enjoy good, and in the day of adversity consider: God hath also set the one beside the other, to the end that man should find out nothing of what shall be after him.
