Young person, if you spend your youth only having fun, if you use your early years just to entertain yourself, if you follow your heart as you live your life, and let your eyes be your guide; understand that for all these things God will bring you to judgment.

Therefore, remove anger from your heart; and keep from harming your body; for neither adolescence nor youth has any lasting value.

He who keeps watching the wind will never sow; he who keeps looking at the clouds will never reap.

Just as you don’t know the way of the wind or how bones grow in a pregnant woman’s womb, so you don’t know the work of God, the maker of everything.

In the morning, sow your seed; and don’t slack off until evening; for you don’t know which sowing will succeed, this, or that, or if both will do well.

Divide your merchandise into seven or eight shares, since you don’t know what disasters may come on the earth.
