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.

Death loves a shining mark, a signal blow.

By all means use some time to be alone.
