Fame is the shade of immortality, and in itself a shadow. Soon as caught, contemn'd; it shrinks to nothing in the grasp (Edward Young Quotes)
Not all on books their criticism waste; the genius of a dish some justly taste, and eat their way to fame (Edward Young Quotes)
Can wealth give happiness? Look round and see What gay distress! What splendid misery! Whatever fortunes lavishly can pour, the mind annihilates, and calls for more (Edward Young Quotes)
Some wits, like oracles, deal in ambiguities, but not with equal success; for though ambiguities are the first excellence of an impostor, they are the last of a wit (Edward Young Quotes)
Man wants but little, nor that little long; how soon must he resign his very dust, which frugal nature lent him for an hour! (Edward Young Quotes)
