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
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
Let Greeks be Greeks, and women what they are.
Anne Bradstreet
My hope and treasure lies above
