And then I took a hard look at what’s smart and what’s stupid. What’s left to do after you’ve been king? That’s a hard act to follow. You just do what you can, and that’s it. But I did see that it’s better to be smart than stupid, just as light is better than darkness. Even so, though the smart ones see where they’re going and the stupid ones grope in the dark, they’re all the same in the end. One fate for all—and that’s it.

Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.

And I saw that wisdom excels folly as light excels darkness.

I saw that being wise is certainly better than being foolish, just as light is better than darkness.
