    You missed on of the best:

    "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."

    Ecclesiates 3:1-8
