Quote #55

By night an atheist half believes a God.

More from Edward Young

  1. Men may live fools, but fools they cannot die.
  2. Less base the fear of death than fear of life.
  3. 'Tis impious in a good man to be sad
  4. A soul without reflection, like a pile Without inhabitant, to ruin runs.
  5. We see time's furrows on another's brow, And death intrench'd, preparing his assault; How few themselves in that just mirror see!
  6. A God all mercy is a God unjust.
  7. Like our shadows, Our wishes lengthen as our sun declines.
  8. Man wants little, nor that little long.
