There is something else I saw, a good example of how wisdom is regarded in this world.

I have always said that wisdom is better than strength, but no one thinks of the poor as wise or pays any attention to what they say.

Wisdom does more for a person than ten rulers can do for a city.

After all, a king can only do what previous kings have done.So I started thinking about what it meant to be wise or reckless or foolish.

Yes, I was great, greater than anyone else who had ever lived in Jerusalem, and my wisdom never failed me.

Dead flies can make a whole bottle of perfume stink, and a little stupidity can cancel out the greatest wisdom.

How can anyone discover what life means? It is too deep for us, too hard to understand.

God gives wisdom, knowledge, and happiness to those who please him, but he makes sinners work, earning and saving, so that what they get can be given to those who please him. It is all useless. It is like chasing the wind.

Oh, I know, “Wisdom is better than foolishness, just as light is better than darkness.

Their stupidity will be evident even to strangers they meet along the way; they let everyone know that they are fools.
