And trifles life.

Additional quotes by Edward Young

They that on glorious ancestors enlarge,
Produce their debt instead of their discharge.

Thoughts shut up want air,
And spoil, like bales unopen’d to the sun.

Too low they build, who build beneath the stars.

Think naught a trifle, though it small appear; Small sands the mountain, moments make the year, And trifles life. - Edward Young
