[Mahayana]

8 All speech is labored; there is nothing man can say. The eye is not satisfied with seeing nor is the ear filled with hearing.

9 What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done. Nothing is new under the sun.

10 Even the thing of which we say, "See, this is new!" has already existed in the ages that preceded us.

Ecclesiastes chapter one

[Mahayana]

How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is
To have a thankless child!

I tax not you, you elements, with unkindness.

Ingratitude, thou marble-hearted fiend!

King Lear, Shakespeare
