| Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless—like chasing the wind. | I have seen that every labor and every skill which is done is the result of rivalry between a person and his neighbor. This too is futility and striving after wind. |
| Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. | Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. |
