If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
Anne Bradstreet
And you would accept the seasons of your heart just as you have always accepted that seasons pass over your fields and you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.
Kahlil Gibran
Spring passes and one remembers one`s innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one`s exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one`s reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one`s perseverance.
John Lennon
