For the wise are ever as little in remembrance as the foolish, and all the days for to come shall be forgotten, yea the wise man dieth as well as the fool.

I understood of all the works of God, that it is not possible for a man, to attain unto works that are done under the Sun: and though he bestow his labour to seek them out, yet can he not reach unto them: yea, though a wise man would undertake to know them, yet might he not find them.

For a wise man beareth his eyes about in his head, but the fool goeth in the darkness. I perceived also that they both had one end.

For who knoweth, whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? And yet shall he be lord of all my labours, which I with such wisdom have taken under the Sun. Is not this a vain thing?

It is better to give ear to the chastening of a wise man, than to hear the song of fools.

Whoso doeth wrong, maketh a wise man to go out of his wit, and destroyeth a gentle heart.

Whoso keepeth the commandment, shall feel no harm: but a wise man's heart discerneth time and manner.

A wise man's counsel that is followed in silence, is far above the crying of a captain among fools.

A wise man's heart is upon the righthand, but a fool's heart is upon the left.

The words out of a wise man's mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool will destroy himself.

Wisdom giveth more courage unto the wise, than ten mighty men of the city.

For the words of the wise are like pricks and nails that go through, wherewith men are kept together: for they are given of one shepherd only.

And in the city there was found a poor man - but he was wise - which with his wisdom delivered the city: yet was there no body, that had any respect for such a simple man.

Who is wise? Who hath knowledge to make an answer? Wisdom maketh a man's face to shine, but malice putteth it out of favour.

For all these things purposed I in my mind to seek out. The righteous and wise, yea and their servants also are in the hand of God: and there is no man that knoweth either love or hate, but all things are before them.
