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!

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
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
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
The stones and trees, insensible to time, / Nor age nor wrinkle on their front are seen / If Winter come, and greenness then do fade / A Spring returns, and they more youthful made / But man grows old, lies down, remains where once he's laid.
Anne Bradstreet
And time brings down what is both strong and tall. But plants new set to be eradicate, And buds new blown, to have so short a date, Is by his hand alone that guides nature and fate.

Anne Bradstreet
My love is such that Rivers cannot quench, Nor ought but love from thee, give recompence. Thy love is such I can no way repay, The heavens reward thee manifold I pray.
Anne Bradstreet
Art can do much, but this maxim's most sure/A weak or wounded brain admits no cure.
Anne Bradstreet
The world no longer lets me love, My hope and treasure are above.
Anne Bradstreet
A prosperous state makes a secure Christian, but adversity makes him Consider.
Anne Bradstreet
I happy am, if well with you.
Anne Bradstreet
My hope and treasure lies above
Anne Bradstreet
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone, I here, though there, yet both but one.
Anne Bradstreet
Authority without wisdom is like a heavy ax without an edge -- fitter to bruise than polish.
Anne Bradstreet
The spring is a lively emblem of the Resurrection.
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
