* And I turned to behold wisdom , and madness , and folly . For what can a man do who comes after the king , when they have already done it ? * Then I saw that there is advantage to wisdom above folly , even as light has advantage over darkness . * The wise man 's eyes are in his head ; but the fool walks in darkness ; and I also know that one event happens with all of them . * And I said in my heart , As the event of the stupid one , even so it will happen to me ; and why then was I more wise ? Then I said in my heart that this also is vanity . * For there is not a memory of the wise more than with the fool forever , in that already the days to come will be forgotten . And how does the wise die above the fool ?
