Additional quotes by 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.

Such cold mean flowers the spring puts forth betime,
Before the sun hath thoroughly heat the clime.

The principal might yield a greater sum,
Yet handled ill, amounts but to this crumb;

Youth is the time of getting, middle age of improving, and old age of spending. - Anne Bradstreet
