There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.(Eclesiastés 4:8)

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.(Eclesiastés 4:9)
