Thoughts About Life (Ecclesiastes 7:1, 5- 9, 11, 19 & 20) Good News Translation

1    A good reputation is better than expensive perfume;
      and the day you die is better than the day you are born.

5    It is better to have wise people reprimand you than to have
      stupid people  sing your praises.

6    When a fool laughs, it is like thorns crackling in a fire.  It
       doesn't mean a thing.

7    When a wise man cheats someone, he is acting like a fool.
        If you take a bribe, you ruin your character.

8     The end of something is better than its beginning.
        Patience is beter than pride.

9     Keep your temper under control; it is foolish to harbor a grudge.

11    Everyone who lives ought to be wise; it is as good as receiving
        an inheritance and will give you as much security as money can.
        Wisdom keeps you safe----this is the advantage of knowledge.

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

20   There is no one on earth who does what is right all the time and
        never makes a mistake.
