Quid necesse est homini majora se quærere, cum ignoret quid conducat sibi in vita sua, numero dierum peregrinationis suæ, et tempore quod velut umbra præterit? aut quis ei poterit indicare quod post eum futurum sub sole sit?
What needeth a man to seek things that are above him, whereas he knoweth not what is profitable for him in his life, in all the days of his pilgrimage, and the time that passeth like a shadow? Or who can tell him what shall be after him under the sun?
Quid necesse es ad homine magna se quaere, cum ignora quid conduce ad se in vita suo, numero de dies de peregrinatione suo, et tempore quod sicut umbra praeteri? Aut qui ad illo pote indica quod post illo es sub sole es?
