Who does the best that circumstance allows,
Does well, acts nobly, angels could no more
Edward Young quote Woes cluster; rare are solitary woes;
They love a train, they tread each other's heel
Edward Young quote When pain can't bless, heaven quits us in despair
Edward Young quote Inhumanity is caught from man,
From smiling man
Edward Young quote We bleed, we tremble; we forget, we smile -
The mind turns fool, before the cheek is dry
Edward Young quote Early, bright, transient, chaste, as morning dew
She sparkled, was exhal'd, and went to heaven
Edward Young quote What folly can be ranker. Like our shadows,
Our wishes lengthen as our sun declines
Edward Young quote While man is growing, life is in decrease.
And cradles rock us nearer to the tomb:
Our birth is nothing but our death begun
Edward Young quote Biography
English poet and dramatist (1683 - 1765)
