万物皆有时

天下萬物各有其時，凡事也必有定期。
生有時，死有時；
栽種有時，拔除有时；
杀戮有时，醫治有時；
拆毀有時，建造有時；
哭有時，笑有時；
哀慟有時，雀躍有時；
拋石有時，堆石有時；
懷抱有時；不懷抱有時；
尋找有時，遺失有時；
保存有時；捨弃有時；
撕裂有時；縫補有時；
靜默有時；說話有時；
愛有時，恨有時；
戰爭有時；和平有時。
       ——傳道書3:1-8
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 seek, 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.
