Edward Young

A man of pleasure is a man of pains.

Friendship's the wine of life: but friendship new... is neither strong nor pure.

The maid that loves goes out to sea upon a shattered plank, and puts her trust in miracles for safety.

By night an atheist half believes in a God.

The course of Nature is the art of God.

Read nature; nature is a friend to truth.

By all means use some time to be alone.

Procrastination is the thief of time.

Our birth is nothing but our death begun, As tapers waste the moment they take fire.

Virtue alone has majesty in death.

Wishing of all employments is the worst.

Tomorrow is the day when idlers work, and fools reform.
