“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 --

 “No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.” — Hal Borland --

“Every winter has its spring.” — H. Tuttle --

"No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face." — John Donne, The Autumnal --

 "You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason." -- Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast --
