Selected quotes by Young
Too low they build who build beneath the stars.
If we did but know how little some enjoy of the great things that they possess, there would not be much envy in the world.
And can eternity belong to me, Poor pensioner on the bounties of an hour?
He weeps! the falling drop puts out the sun; He sighs! the sigh earth's deep foundation shakes. If in His love so terrible, what then His wrath inflamed?
Dark lattice! letting in eternal day!
Beware what earth calls happiness; beware All joys, but joys that never can expire.
Time flies, death urges, knells call, heaven invites, hell threatens!
What ardently we wish, we soon believe.
How empty learning, and how vain is art, But as it mends the life, and guides the heart!
Much learning shows how little mortals know; Much wealth, how little worldlings can enjoy.
Humble love, And not proud reason, keeps the door of heaven; Love finds admission, where proud science fails.
How poor, how rich, how abject, how august, How complicate, how wonderful is man!
Patience and resignation are the pillars Of human peace on earth.
We rise in glory as we sink in pride.
Time wasted is existence, used is life.
Be wise to-day; 'tis madness to defer.
