Ecclesiastes – Character Quotes

For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?

Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.

For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing. <...> Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
