* It is better to go to the house of mourning , than to go to the house of feasting : for that is the end of all men ; and the living will lay it to his heart . * Sorrow is better than laughter : for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better . * The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning ; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth . * It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise , than for a man to hear the song of fools . * For as the crackling of thorns under a pot , so is the laughter of the fool : this also is vanity .
