I agree with the quotes, there is time for sadness (to weep) and time for happiness (to laugh). Both are valid and natural. So, I wonder how you meant it.
I am not that far to see, but have it from an excellent source that it will not pass very soon (to say the least) .

Hm, I see the quotes you posted are talking about seasons, which suggests a certain repeating / recurring. Though some might imply that they are final and not recurring, it is not really clear, all of them could be seen as cycles (even birth and death). So, what type is sadness?
