Ecclesiastes quotes (2)

Here is some more: I observed everything going on under the sun. And really it is all meaningless - like chasing the wind. What is wrong cannot be made right. What is missing cannot be recovered. But as I looked as everything I had accomplished it was so meaningless - like chasing the wind. Yet I saw that the wise and the foolish share the same fate. Both will die. So I said to myself: Since I will end up the same as the fool what's the value of my wisdom? The Killers - Sams Town .

This is all so meaningless for the wise and the foolish both die. The wise will not be remembered any longer than the fool. How meaningless to think that welth brings true happiness. The more you have the more people to help you spend it. But I did find this: God created people to be virtuos, but they have each turned to follow their own downward path. I relized that no one can discover everything God is doing under the sun. Not even the wisest people discover everything, no matter what they claim.

Whatever you do do well. If your boss is angry at you don't quit. A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes. A wise people choose the right road, a fool takes the wrong one. Young people it is wonderful to be young. Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do. So refuse to worry and keep your body helthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you, it's meaningless.
