Come, take your bread with joy, and your wine with a glad heart. God has taken pleasure in your works.

And again I saw under the sun that the reward goes not to him who is quick, or the fruits of war to the strong; and there is no bread for the wise, or wealth for men of learning, or respect for those who have knowledge; but time and chance come to all.

Put out your bread on the face of the waters; for after a long time it will come back to you again.
