2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to the house of feasting: for in that we are put in mind of the end of all, and the living thinketh what is to come.

3 Anger is better than laughter: because by the sadness of the countenance the mind of the offender is corrected.

4 The heart of the wise is where there is mourning, and the heart of fools where there is mirth.
