Hey Avon, my favourite versus from the old testament. Can you guess who said this:
I applied my heart to know, to search and seek out wisdom and the reason of things, to know the wickedness of folly, even foolishness and madness.
Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sad countenance the heart is made better.
Do not be overly righteous, nor overly wise: why should you destroy yourself.
Do not be overly wicked, nor be foolish: Why should you die before your time.
