More quotes by Anne Bradstreet
Wickedness comes to its height by degrees. He that dares say of a less sin, Is it not a little one? will ere long say of a greater, Tush, God regards it not!
Anne Bradstreet
But man grows old, lies down, remains where once he's laid.
Anne Bradstreet
If we had not winter, the spring would not be so pleasant if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
Anne Bradstreet
Iron till it be thoroughly heated is incapable to be wrought so God sees good to cast some men into the furnace of affliction, and then beats them on His anvil into what frame He desires.
Anne Bradstreet
Youth is the time of getting, middle age of improving, and old age of spending.
Anne Bradstreet
He that would be content with a mean condition must not cast his eye upon one that is in a far better estate than himself, but let him look upon him that is lower than he is, and, if he see that such a one bears poverty comfortably, it will help to quiet him.
Anne Bradstreet
I happy am, if well with you.
Anne Bradstreet
Sweet words are like honey, a little may refresh, but too much gluts the stomach.
Anne Bradstreet
When I behold the heavens as in their prime, And then the earth (though old) still clad in green, The stones and trees, insensible of time, Nor age nor wrinkle on their front are seen
Anne Bradstreet
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant.
Anne Bradstreet
Fire hath its force abated by water, not by wind and anger must be allayed by cold words, and not by blustering threats.
Anne Bradstreet
I am obnoxious to each carping tongue who says my hand a needle better fits.
Anne Bradstreet
Wisdom with an inheritance is good, but wisdom without an inheritance is better than an inheritance without wisdom.
Anne Bradstreet
To sing of Wars, of Captains, and of Kings/Of Cities founded, Common-wealths begun/For my mean Pen are too superior things.
Anne Bradstreet
Some laborers have hard hands, and old sinners have brawny consciences.
Anne Bradstreet
Sin and shame ever go together he that would be freed from the last must be sure to shun the company of the first.
Anne Bradstreet
Satan, that great angler, hath his sundry baits for sundry tempers of men, which they all catch greedily at, but few perceive the hook till it be too late.
Anne Bradstreet
If ever wife was happy in a man, compare with me, ye women if you can.
Anne Bradstreet
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone, I here, though there, yet both but one.
Anne Bradstreet
I am obnoxious to each carping tongue/ Who says my hand a needle better fits./ A poet's pen all scorn I should thus wrong/ For such despite they cast on female wits/ If what I do prove well, it won't advance,/ They'll say it's stolen, or else, it was by chance.
Anne Bradstreet
