* And I turned myself to behold wisdom , and madness , and folly : for what can the man do that cometh after the king ? even that which hath been already done . * Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly , as far as light excelleth darkness . * 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 . * Then said I in my heart , As it happeneth to the fool , so it happeneth even to me ; and why was I then more wise ? Then I said in my heart , that this also is vanity . * 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 .
