A good name is better than a good ointment,
And the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth.

In the day of prosperity be happy,
But in the day of adversity consider—
God has made the one as well as the other
So that man will not discover anything that will be after him.

No man has authority to restrain the wind with the wind, or authority over the day of death; and there is no discharge in the time of war, and evil will not deliver those who practice it.

When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the task which has been done on the earth (even though one should never sleep day or night),
