Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

גַּם־בִּשְׂחֹ֥וק יִכְאַב־לֵ֑ב וְאַחֲרִיתָ֖הּ שִׂמְחָ֣ה תוּגָֽה׃

Proverbs 14:13

Another quote originally in Hebrew

God has pity on kindergarten children.
He has less pity on school children.
And on grownups he has no pity at all,
he leaves them alone,
and sometimes they must crawl on all fours
in the burning sand
to reach the first-aid station
covered with blood.
