Additional quotes by Edward Young

What ardently we wish we soon believe

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 booby father craves a booby son,
And by Heaven’s blessing thinks himself undone.
