To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the
heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to
pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time
to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time
to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from
embracing; a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to
cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a
time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time of war, and a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 3, 1-8
