I said to my heart, See, I have become great and am increased in wisdom more than any who were before me in Jerusalem--yes, my heart has seen much wisdom and knowledge.

Because in much wisdom is much grief, and increase of knowledge is increase of sorrow.

As a dream comes from much business, so the voice of a foolish man comes with words in great number.

Because much talk comes from dreams and things of no purpose. But let the fear of God be in you.

The sleep of a working man is sweet, if he has little food or much; but to him who is full, sleep will not come.

All his days are in the dark, and he has much sorrow, pain, disease, and trouble.

He will not give much thought to the days of his life; because God lets him be taken up with the joy of his heart.

Wisdom is better than instruments of war, but one sinner is the destruction of much good.

And further, my son, take note of this: of the making of books there is no end, and much learning is a weariness to the flesh.
