Sirach 30:21-23
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
21 Do not give yourself over to sorrow,
and do not afflict yourself deliberately.
22 Gladness of heart is the life of man,
and the rejoicing of a man is length of days.
23 Delight your soul and comfort your heart,
and remove sorrow far from you,
for sorrow has destroyed many,
and there is no profit in it.
