Additional quotes by Edward Young

Mine is the night, with all her stars.

Pygmies are pygmies still, though percht on Alps;
And pyramids are pyramids in vales.
Each man makes his own stature, builds himself.
Virtue alone outbuilds the Pyramids;
Her monuments shall last when Egypt’s fall.

The first sure symptom of a mind in health Is rest of heart and pleasure felt at home.

Time flies, death urges, knells call, Heaven invites, Hell threatens. - Edward Young
