Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under
heaven:
        a time to be born, and a time to die;
        a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what 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 throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
        a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
        a time to seek, and a time to lose;
        a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
        a time to tear, 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 for war, and a time for peace.
