I am obnoxious to each carping tongue Who says my hand a needle better fits, A poet’s pen all scorn I should thus wrong For such despite they cast on female wits; If what I do prove well, it won’t advance, They’ll say it’s stolen, or else, it was by chance.
Anne Bradstreet Quotes
Authority without wisdom is like a heavy ax without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish.
