"Our
real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and
disappointments, but let us have patience and we soon shall see them in
their proper figures."

About Joseph Addison
English politician and writer Joseph Addison is remembered as a cofounder, along with his friend Richard Steele, of The Spectator,
one of the first magazines to cover literature and manners. He was born
in 1672 in Wiltshire. He spent four years traveling in Europe, studying politics and writing poetry, and became a Commissioner of Appeals on his return to England. His shyness made public office difficult. His most famous work is the play Cato, a tragedy about ancient Rome. He died in 1719.
