How much more classic can you get?

The thing that hath been, is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun. My eldest sister, Dawn, sent me this book. This was the simplest of gestures with the largest of statements. On the inside cover "Master the difference between invigorating pride and wicked arrogance....Lead by example and not by arrogance. I was not the only one to have read the words of "The Preacher". Doris Lessing very well encapsulates the depth of the beauty of early 17th century writing. This signatured style provides the King James version of The Bible with the longevity it has endured thus far.
