The more you worry, the more likely you are to have bad dreams, and the more you talk, the more likely you are to say something foolish.

The more you talk, the more likely you are to sin. If you are wise, you will keep quiet.

When wise people speak, they make knowledge attractive, but stupid people spout nonsense.

To his sins he adds rebellion; in front of us all he mocks God.

It is useless for you to go on talking; it is clear you don't know what you are saying.

So I realized then that the best thing we can do is enjoy what we have worked for. There is nothing else we can do. There is no way for us to know what will happen after we die.

How can anyone know what is best for us in this short, useless life of ours---a life that passes like a shadow? How can we know what will happen in the world after we die?

None of us knows what is going to happen, and there is no one to tell us.

Now listen to me, you that say, "Today or tomorrow we will travel to a certain city, where we will stay a year and go into business and make a lot of money."

You don't even know what your life tomorrow will be! You are like a puff of smoke, which appears for a moment and then disappears.
