Edward Young
Procrastination is the thief of time.
Be wise with speed . A fool at forty is a fool indeed.
Much learning shows how little mortals know; much wealth, how little worldings enjoy.
Pygmies are pygmies still, though percht on Alps;And pyramids are pyramids in vales.Each man makes his own stature, builds himself.Virtue alone outbuilds the Pyramids;Her monuments shall last when Egypt's fall.
Some for renown, on scraps of learning dote,And think they grow immortal as they quote.
Too low they build, who build beneath the stars.
