There is no remembrance of those who came before;
and of those who will come after
there will also be no remembrance
by those who follow them.

It is better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
since that is the end of all mankind,
and the living should take it to heart.

The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
a patient spirit is better than a proud spirit.

The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly,
but the end of his speaking is evil madness.

Just as you don’t know the path of the wind,
or how bones develop in the womb of a pregnant woman,
so you don’t know the work of God who makes everything.
