A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

Go your way, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God now accepts your works.

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happens to them all.

Cast your bread upon the waters: for you shall find it after many days.
