Ecclesiastes 6:9

One Must Learn To Be Content With What One Has

⁸ For what advantage hath the wise more than the fool? or what hath the poor man, that knoweth how to walk before the living? ⁹ Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and a striving after wind. ¹⁰ Whatsoever hath been, the name thereof was given long ago; and it is know what man is; neither can he contend with him that is mightier than he.
