About This Quote

This is a verse from the book of Ecclesiastes by King Solomon. In it, Solomon speaks about how you can never have all of your wishes come true. Even if you have a perfect life, there will always be something missing. The most successful people in the world also experience this same fact. They still wish to complete their lives even though they are very satisfied with their current situation.
