There is no remembrance of earlier things;
And also of the later things which will occur,
There will be for them no remembrance
Among those who will come later still.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun and it is prevalent among men—

which I am still seeking but have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a woman among all these.

Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil.

The words of the wise heard in quietness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools.
