“Of all I have ever seen or learned, that book seems to me the noblest, the wisest, and the most powerful expression of man’s life upon this earth—and also the highest flower of poetry, eloquence, and truth.

This post written by Karina Lam gives an excellent personal explanation of one example of Ecclesiastes Wisdom. I highly recommend you read it.
