There is certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place.

Summary

The quote suggests that change, no matter how undesirable, can bring a sense of relief. It draws a parallel to traveling in a stagecoach, explaining how simply shifting one's position can provide temporary comfort, even if it results in bruises in a different place. This implies that sometimes, embracing change and experiencing something new, even if it comes with challenges, can offer a sense of ease or respite from the previous situation.
