The wise person has his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I perceived that the same event happens to all of them.

If anyone’s will is to do God’s will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.

The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

When your eyes light on it, it is gone, for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven.

Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.
