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
(Terry Melcher, son of movie star Doris Day, who produced the Byrds' hit recording "Turn, turn, turn" that featured this passage, died last week of cancer - requiescat in pace).
