Eclesiastés 7

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?

MEJOR es la buena fama que el buen ungüento; y el día de la muerte que el día del nacimiento.

A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.

A good name is better than fine perfume; and the day of death better than the day of one’s birth.
