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

Additional quotes by Edward Young

Ah! what is human life?
How, like the dial's tardy-moving shade,
Day after day slides from us unperceiv'd!
The cunning fugitive is swift by stealth;
Too subtle is the movement to be seen;
Yet soon the hour is up—and we are gone.

Procrastination is the thief of time: Year after year it steals, till all are fled, And to the mercies of a moment leaves The vast concerns of an eternal scene

When the Law shows her teeth, but dares not bite.

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