Ecclesiastes 1:16-18
Common English Bible

16 I said to myself, Look here, I have grown much wiser than any who ruled over Jerusalem before me. My mind has absorbed great wisdom and knowledge. 17 But when I set my mind to understand wisdom, and also to understand madness and folly, I realized that this too was just wind chasing.

18 Remember:
In much wisdom is much aggravation;
    the more knowledge, the more pain.
