I returned and saw under the sun that
the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, neither is bread to the wise
nor riches to men of intelligence and understanding nor favor to men of skill;
but time and chance happen to them all.
-Ecclesiastes 9:11

The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord
when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step].
- Psalm 37:23
