Anne Bradstreet Quotes and Quotations
If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee. There is no object that we see; no action that we do; no good that we enjoy; no evil that we feel, or fear, but we may make some spiritual advantage of all: and he that makes such improvement is wise, as well as pious. Sweet words are like honey, a little may refresh, but too much gluts the stomach. Youth is the time of getting, middle age of improving, and old age of spending. Authority without wisdom is like a heavy axe without an edge, fitter to bruise than to polish. If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. |
