Biography information from Wikiquote

Originators like Edward Young:

Too low they build, who build beneath the stars.

Thy purpose firm is equal to the deed:
Who does the best his circumstance allows
Does well, acts nobly; angels could no more.

A soul without reflection, like a pile
Without inhabitant, to ruin runs.
