'Tis impious in a good man to be sad

More from Edward Young

  1. Men may live fools, but fools they cannot die.
  2. A God all mercy is a God unjust.
  3. By night an atheist half believes a God.
  4. Man wants little, nor that little long.
  5. Less base the fear of death than fear of life.
  6. Wishing, of all employments, is the worst.
  7. A soul without reflection, like a pile Without inhabitant, to ruin runs.
  8. And feels a thousand deaths in fearing one.
