Vicissitude Quotes 

Let it be our endeavour, let it be our task, to keep alight the torch of imperial patriotism, to hold fast the affection and the confidence of our kinsmen across the seas; so that in every vicissitude of fortune the British Empire may present an unbroken front to all her foes, and may carry on even to distant ages the glorious traditions of the British flag.
Joseph Chamberlain

They offer their fruit to every wayfarer apples that are bitter-sweet with the moral of time's vicissitude.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

— Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mosses from an Old Manse, The Old Manse, "Time's vicissitude".
