- કોઈ એવું મનુષ્ય હોય છે કે જેનું કામ ડહાપણ, જ્ઞાન તથા કુશળતાથી કરેલું હોય છે. તોપણ તેમાં જેણે મહેનત નહિ કરી હોય એવા વ્યક્તિને વારસામાં આપી જશે. આ વ્યર્થતા તથા મોટો અનર્થ છે.
- हिन्दी — सभोपदेशक २:२१
- क्योंकि ऐसा मनुष्य भी है, जिसका कार्य परिश्रम और बुद्धि और ज्ञान से होता है और सफल भी होता है, तो भी उसको ऐसे मनुष्य के लिये छोड़ जाना पड़ता है, जिसने उसमें कुछ भी परिश्रम न किया हो। यह भी व्यर्थ और बहुत ही बुरा है।
