Ecclesiastes 7:1

1 A good name is more worth than a precious ointment, and the day of death is better than the day of birth.

Proverbs 20:4

4 A slothful body will not go to plow, for cold of the winter; therefore shall he go a begging in Summer and have nothing.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11

1 Every thing hath a time; yea, all that is under the heaven, hath his convenient season. 2 There is a time to be born, and a time to die. There is a time to plant, and a time to pluck up the thing, that is planted; 3 A time to slay, and a time to make whole; A time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to win, and a time to lose; A time to spare, and a time to spend; 7 A time to cut in pieces, and a time to sew together; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and a time of peace. 9 What else hath a man that doth anything, but weariness and labour? 10 For as touching the travail and carefulness which God hath given unto men, I see that he hath given it them, to be exercised in it. 11 All this hath he ordained marvelous goodly, to every thing his due time. He hath planted ignorance also in the hearts of men, that they should not find out the ground of his works, which he doth from the beginning to the end.

Proverbs 12:27

27 A deceitful man shall find no vantage; but he that is content with that he hath, is more worth than gold.
