Better is a palm filled with rest, than two fists filled with labor and striving after wind.
A little to the righteous one is better than the abundance of many wicked ones.
Better is a little with righteousness than great increase without justice.
Better is a dry piece of bread, and quietness with it, than a house full of sacrifices with strife.
I have seen all the works which are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and striving after wind!
And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness, and folly. I know that this also, it is striving after wind.
And I returned and saw vanity under the sun.
