For he shall not often reflect on the days of his life; because God occupies him with the joy of his heart.

Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet fails to enjoy good, don't all go to one place?

Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity: for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.

A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes the life glad; and money is the answer for all things.
