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.

Ecclesiastes quotes
So more of my favorite quotes, but this time from the Ecclesiastes. Here we go: No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear we are not content. Generations come and generations go but the earth never changes. Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls down the other one can reach out amd help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Coconut Records - It's not you it's me.
It is better to say nothing than to make promise and not keep it. Enjoy what you have rather desiring what you don't have. Everything has already been decided. It was known long ago what each person would be. So there is no use arguing with God about your destiny. For then the dust will return to the earth and the spirit will return to God who gave it. The more words you speak the less they mean. So what good are they?
A wise person thinks a lot about death, while a fool thinks only about having a good time. The day you die is better than the day you are born. After all everyone dies so the living should take this to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter for sadness has a refining influance on us. Better to be critized by a wise person than to be praised by fool. Winsdom and money can get you almost anything but only wisdom can save your life.

Proverbs' quotes
My favorite book in the Bible is Proverbs. Okey my favorite quotes: Commit your actions to the Lord and your plans will succeed. We can make our own plans but the Lord gives the right answer. We can make our own plans, but the Lord determines our steps. We may throw the dice but the Lord determines how they fall. You can make many plans but the Lord's purpose will prevail. Commit yourself to instruction, listen carefully to words of knowledge. The Lord directs our steps so why try to understand everything along the way. Garry Schyman - Praan.
There are "friedns" who destroy each other but a real friend sticks closer than a brother. Many will say they are loyal friends, but who can find one who is truly reliable. Get all the advice and instructions you can so you will be wise the rest of your life. A lazy person is as bad as someone who destroy things. Fools think their own way is right but the wise listen to others. Everyone enjoys a fitting reply, it's wonderful to say the right thing at the right time. To learn you must love discipline, it's stupid to hate correction.
People may be pure in their own eyes but the Lord examines their motives. There is a path before each person that seems right but it ends in death. People might be right in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their heart. Those who control their tongue will have a long life, opening your mouth can ruin everything. Work hard and become a leader, be lazy and become a slave. A bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate. In the end people appericiate honest criticism far more than flattery.

More quotes from Warrens book
Okey I'm just about to finish reading The Purpose Driven Life so it's time for some more quotes. You know, when I read a book I often write down interesting quotes from it. The same thing with movies. I will pause a movie in the middle of it just so I don't forget that quote. I just like quotes so here is some: Your idenity is eternity and your homeland is heaven. Realizing that life on earth is just a temporary assignment should radically alert your values. At death you won't leave home - you'll go home. Justice - D.A.N.C.E
You can't have solution if you don't have a problem. Everyone knows the problem but no one talks about it openly. In resolving conflicts how you say it is as important as what you say. Attac the problem not the person. A soft answer is always better than a sarcastic one. It is unrealistic to exept everyone to agree about everything. Tell me what you are commited to and I'll tell you what you will be in twenty years. We become whatever we are commited to. To change your life you must change the way you think.
Behind everything you do is a thought. Every behavior is motivated by a belive and every action is prompted by an attitude. Be careful how you think your life is shaped by your thoughts. The way you think determines the way you feel and the way you feel influances the way you act. We make mistakes but God never does. God cannot make mistake because he is God. If you are facing trouble right now don't ask: Why me? Instead ask: What do you want me to learn. Then trust God and keep on doing what's right.
