More quotes by Anne Bradstreet
Sweet words are like honey, a little may refresh, but too much gluts the stomach.
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
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant.
Anne Bradstreet
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold or all the riches that the East doth hold.
Anne Bradstreet
A prosperous state makes a secure Christian, but adversity makes him Consider.
Anne Bradstreet
It is reported of the peacock that priding himself in his gay feathers he ruffles them up but spying his black feet he soon lets fall his plumes. So he that glories in his gifts and adornings should look upon his corruptions, and that will damp his high thoughts.
Anne Bradstreet
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.
Anne Bradstreet
Let Greeks be Greeks, and women what they are.
Anne Bradstreet
Youth is the time of getting, middle age of improving, and old age of spending a negligent youth is usually attended by an ignorant middle age, and both by an empty old age.
Anne Bradstreet
I am obnoxious to each carping tongue who says my hand a needle better fits.
Anne Bradstreet
Authority without wisdom is like a heavy ax without an edge -- fitter to bruise than polish.
Anne Bradstreet
My age I will not once lament, / But sing, my time so near is spent.
Anne Bradstreet
The world no longer lets me love, My hope and treasure are above.
Anne Bradstreet
The spring is a lively emblem of the Resurrection.
Anne Bradstreet
I happy am, if well with you.
Anne Bradstreet
I wish my Sun may never set, but burn.
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
Wisdom with an inheritance is good, but wisdom without an inheritance is better than an inheritance without wisdom.
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
What to my Saviour shall I giveWho freely hath done this for me?I'll serve him here whilst I shall liveAnd Loue him to Eternity
Anne Bradstreet
