" In the day of prosperity be joyful,
but in the day of adversity consider:
Surely God has appointed the one as well as the other,
so that man can find nothing that will happen after him."
" Do not be overly righteous, nor be overly wise;
Why should you destroy yourself?
Do not be overly wicked, nor foolish;
Why should you die before your time?"
" Also do not take to heart everything people say,
lest you hear your servant cursing you.
For how many times also, your own heart has known that
even you have cursed others."
Ecc. 7:14, 16-17, 21-22
