A prosperous state makes a secure Christian, but adversity makes him Consider.
Anne Bradstreet
Art can do much, but this maxim's most sure/A weak or wounded brain admits no cure.
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.

Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone, I here, though there, yet both but one.
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
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
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
The spring is a lively emblem of the Resurrection.
Anne Bradstreet
My hope and treasure lies above
Anne Bradstreet
Authority without wisdom is like a heavy ax without an edge -- fitter to bruise than polish.
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
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
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant.
Anne Bradstreet
