"A prosperous state makes a secure Christian, but adversity makes him consider." — Anne Bradstreet

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity

Animals, whom we have made our slaves, we do not like to consider our equal

By trying we can easily endure adversity. Another man's, I mean

I consider time as an in immense ocean, in which many noble authors are entirely swallowed up

Anne Bradstreet Quote
