Additional quotes by Edward Young

Man makes a death which Nature never made.

The chamber where the good man meets his fate
Is privileg’d beyond the common walk
Of virtuous life, quite in the verge of heaven.

'Tis greatly wise to talk with our past hours,
And ask them what report they bore to heaven.
