It means that you cannot keep sad events from happening, or sad thoughts from comming to mind, but you don't have to dwell on these things (keep thinking about them).

I always heard old saying this used to illustrate that we have control over our thoughts. We can't keep a bad thought from popping into our minds, but we don't have to meditate on it. The Bible teaches that we do have control over our thoughts and are accountable for them. Sew a thought, reap an action! That's not from the Bible, but it's a good principle.
