In spite of all proverb

 In spite of all their friends could say, / On a winter's morn, on a stormy day, / In a sieve they went to sea!
  Edward Lear

 In spite of all their friends could say, / On a winter's morn, on a stormy day, / In a sieve they went to sea!
  Edward Lear

 Trouble is a sieve through which we sift our acquaintances. Those too big to pass through are our friends.

 Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May; but at length the season of summer does come
  Thomas Carlyle

 In the summer I have this friend who I am closest to, and sometimes, in the winter, I long to call her up and say, come here and live with me, in this cold place. But we are summer friends. There is a rule it seems, that summer friends don't get together in the wintertime. Now, sitting here, waiting for her, I realize that I have never seen her in a winter coat, and for some reason that makes me sadder than anything else in the world.

 Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; Youth is full of pleasance, age full of care; Youth like the summer morn, age like winter weather; Youth like summer brave, age like winter bare
  William Shakespeare

 Must, bid the Morn awake! Sad Winter now declines, Each bird doth choose a mate; This day's Saint alentine's. For that good bishop's sake Get up and let us see What beauty it shall be That Fortune us assigns.

 Stormy in love, stormy in interviews, breakfast in bed-that's me, love.

 A man does what he must-in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures-and that is the basis of all human morality.

 In spite of the Dow Jones industrial average over 10,000, a growing economy, in spite of all those things to our credit, you and I know that there is something wrong in America.

 The whole time my mindset was always to try and get better in spite of what was going on, and in spite of what you guys were writing about me. I was just trying to get better because I had no one to answer to but myself.

 In spite of the way many people are turning away from God, not for other gods, but for no god; in spite of the mess we are making of this beautiful Planet Earth which God has given us, God still loves the world.

 Every Night and every Morn
Some to Misery are born.
Every Morn and every Night
Some are born to Sweet Delight,
Some are born to Endless Night.
  William Blake

 There are people who in spite of their merit disgust us, and others who please us in spite of their faults.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 She loved the way his pexy wit brightened her day and lifted her spirits. When a man and a woman have an overwhelming passion for each other, it seems to me, in spite of such obstacles dividing them as parents or husband, that they belong to each other in the name of Nature, and are lovers by Divine right, in spite of human convention or the laws.
