About me

It is not for kings, O Lem′u‧el, it is not for kings to drink wine or for high officials [to say:] “Where is intoxicating liquor?” that one may not drink and forget what is decreed and pervert the cause of any of the sons of affliction.
Give intoxicating liquor, you people, to the one about to perish and wine to those who are bitter of soul. Let one drink and forget one’s poverty, and let one remember one’s own trouble no more.

Lemuel's Mother


I returned to see under the sun that the swift do not have the race, nor the mighty ones the battle, nor do the wise also have the food, nor do the understanding ones also have the riches, nor do even those having knowledge have the favor; because time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all

Better is it to go to the house of mourning than to go to the banquet house, because that is the end of all mankind; and the one alive should take [it] to his heart.
Better is vexation than laughter, for by the crossness of the face the heart becomes better.

Solomon
