"Sweet words are like honey, a little may refresh, but too much gluts the stomach" — Anne Bradstreet

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

Speech is of Time, Silence is of Eternity.

Source: Sartor Resartus (1836)

But there is only one thing which gathers people into seditious commotion, and that is oppression

The most dangerous of all falsehoods is a slightly distorted truth

When the house is on fire good girls have to get out as well as the bad ones

I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me

Anne Bradstreet Quote
