For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun? 6:12
Whatever you do in this life, do it with all your might. Because there is no work, knowledge, or wisdom in the grave. 9:10
The race isn't to the swift, nor the battle for the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to those with understanding,
nor good fortune to the skilled; time and chance happen to us all. 9:11
For none of us knows when we will die. Like fish in a net or birds in a snare, we are snared in an evil time,
when it falls suddenly upon us. 9:12
Wisdom is better than strength or weapons of war. But one bad person can destroy much that is good. 9:16-18
Dead flies make an ointment stinky, as small mistakes tarnish a wise reputation. 10:1
The words of the wise are gracious, but fools are swallowed by their own lips. 10:12
