Additional quotes by Edward Young

Souls made of fire, and children of the sun,
With whom revenge is virtue.

At 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.

And what its worth, ask death-beds; they can tell.
