Ecclesiastes – Character Quotes

Nor the clouds return after the rain:

One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full.

Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

For there is not a just man upon earth,
that doeth good, and sinneth not.

So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun:
and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter.

For who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise,
Than for a man to hear the song of fools.

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing.

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof.
