In my daily Bible reading, I noticed much of his speech is a paraphrasing of Ecclesiastes Chapter 9.. "Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life that are given to you under the sun, because that is the portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun. Whatever you your hands find to do, do with your might..." Vs. 9&10.

p, Thank you for the reference. My favorite Book. The Hebrew of Ecclesiastes is poetic: "Havel havalim hakol hevel." "Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity". The term vanity is from the Latin vanitas, Middle Engish vanite, meaning in vain, futile, impermanent, as a vapor or breath. Nothing lasts, nothing at all lasts, all is impermanent, eventually nothing.
Ecclesiastes, one of may favorite books of Scriptures, teaches humility. Seinfeld has that. All is vanity. It makes more sense when you are much older. I wish he would have added one more thing to his list of important things. “Work hard, love much…. And love G*d”

They may have taken his funny outfit and degree back if he'd said that.
