Edward Young9 quotes
Too low they build, who build beneath the stars. — Edward Young · 1745A God all mercy, is a God unjust. — Edward Young · 1743Procrastination is the thief of time. — Edward Young · 1742Death! great proprietor of all! 'tis thine
To tread out empire, and to quench the stars. — Edward Young · 1742At thirty, Man suspects himself a fool;
Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan;
At fifty chides his infamous delay,
Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve;
In all the magnanimity of thought
Resolves; and re-resolves; then dies the same. — Edward Young · 1742Be wise to-day; 'tis madness to defer. — Edward Young · 1742All 9 quotes →
