Better to Be Wise Than Foolish – Ecclesiastes 9:11 – 9:18

Destiny is a Predetermined Pattern

“Men wiser and more learned than I have discovered in history a plot, a rhythm, a predetermined pattern. But these harmonies are concealed from me. I can see only one emergency following another, as wave follows upon wave–there can be no generalization. There is only one safe rule for the historian–that he should recognize in the development of human destiny the play of the contingent and the unforeseen.” (Encyclopedia of 15,000 Illustrations)
