Ecclesiastes 1
[9] The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
[10] Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
[11] There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

Ecclesiastes 12
[8] Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

This subject is a perfect example for why one should read Ecclesiastes...
