1 A good name is better than oil of great price, and the day of death than the day of birth.
2 It is better to go to the house of weeping, than to go to the house of feasting; because that is the end of every man, and the living will take it to their hearts.
3 Sorrow is better than joy; when the face is sad the mind gets better.
4 The hearts of the wise are in the house of weeping; but the hearts of the foolish are in the house of joy.
