There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

Surely oppression makes a wise man mad; and a bribe destroys the heart.

Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he has made crooked?

Be not overly righteous; neither make yourself overly wise: why should you destroy yourself?

Who is as the wise man? and who knows the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom makes his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry: but money answers all things.

As you know not what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so you know not the works of God who makes all.
