Ecclesiastes 3:6

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 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 search and a time to count as lost, a time to keep and a time to discard,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
