To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Atimeto be born, and atimeto die; atimetoplant, 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; Atimetoweep, and atimeto laugh; atimetomourn, 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.

-Bible (Old Testament)
Ecclesiastes 3:1^8.

Get up, get up for shame, the blooming morn Upon her wings presents the god unshorn.

-Herrick, Robert
  'Corinna's Going a Maying'.

There are those who prefer to get away inwardly, some with the help of a powerful imagination and an ability to abstract themselves from their surroundings†some with the help of opium or alcohol† I prefer shifting my whole body to shifting my brain, and going round the world to letting my head go round.

-Herzen, Alexander Ivanovich
^7  Byloe i dumy (My Past and Thoughts, translated by Constance Garnett,1924).

Mine is one of the jobs that, if you want it, you will never get itöand if you're seen to want it you will certainly never get it.
