. . . To everything there is a season,

And a time to every purpose under heaven;

A time to be born; a time to die;

A time to plant; a time to reap;

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.

The Book of Ecclesiastes 3:1
