Ecclesiastes 7:1-2

New International Reader's Version

7 A good name is better than fine perfume.
    People can learn more from mourning when someone dies
    than from being happy when someone is born.
² So it’s better to go where people are mourning
    than to go where people are having a good time.
Everyone will die someday.
    Those who are still living
    should really think about that.
