With fame, in just proportion, envy grows
Edward Young quote What most we wish, with ease we fancy near
Edward Young quote Is there a tongue like Delia's o'er her cup,
That runs for ages without winding up?
Edward Young quote Knocks at our hearts, and finds out thoughts at home
Edward Young quote Who, for the poor renown of being smart,
Would leave a sting within a brother's heart?
Edward Young quote Where nature's end of language is declined,
And men talk only to conceal the mind
Edward Young quote Unlearned men of books assume the care,
As eunuchs are the guardians of the fair
Edward Young quote Who borrow much, then fairly make it known,
And damn it with improvements of their own
