Anne Bradstreet
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant.

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
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
I wish my Sun may never set, but burn.
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
But man grows old, lies down, remains where once he's laid.
Anne Bradstreet
We must, therefore, be here as strangers and pilgrims, that we may plainly declare that we seek a city above.
Anne Bradstreet
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone, I here, though there, yet both but one.
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
That when we live no more, We may live ever
