Ecclesiastes

Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.

A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king’s counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.

Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
