Love comforteth like sunshine after rain, But Lust's effect is tempest after sun Love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain, Lust's winter comes ere summer half be done Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies Love is all truth, Lust full of forged lies.
William Shakespeare

Some journalists just get too wrapped up in daily news cycles and tempests in a teapot that are not going to make any difference.

William Kristol

If after every tempest come such calms, May the winds blow till they have waken'd death!

The glories and the beauties of form, color and sound unite in the Grand Canyon - forms unrivaled even by the mountains, colors that vie with sunsets, and sounds that span the diapason from tempest to tinkling raindrop from cataract to bubbling fountain.
John Wesley
Image
Marriage makes a man more vulnerable by doubling the expanse of sail exposed to the tempests of social life.

Sometimes a lengthened period of prosperity melts away in a moment just as the heat of summer flies before a day of tempest.
Luc de Clapiers
