The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.... For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.- Ecclesiastes 2:14, 16
