Ecclesiastes 9:10

NIV: Whatever you hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.

The Message: Seize life! Eat bread with gusto, drink wine with a robust heart. Oh yes -- God takes pleasure in your pleasure! Dress festively every morning. Don't skimp on colors or scarves. Relish life with the spouse you love. Each and everyday of your precarious life. Each day is God's gift. It's all you get for exchange of the hard work of staying alive. Make the most of each one! Whatever turns up, grab it, and do it. And heartily! This is your last and only chance at it. For there's neither work to do or thoughts to think in the company of the dead, where you're most certainly headed.

Awesome, I really delight in both of these versions of a great scripture ;-)
