"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 love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace
What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?"
Ecclesiastes III vv1-2; 8-9
