Edward Young Quotes and Quotations
He mourns the dead who lives as they desire. Tomorrow is a satire on today, And shows its weakness. By night an atheist half-believes in God. None think the great unhappy, but the great. The course of nature is the art of God. None think the great unhappy but the great. For me, happiness came from prayer to a kindly God, faith in a kindly God, love for my fellow man, and doing the very best I could every day of my life. I had looked for happiness in fast living, but it was not there. I tried to find it in money, but it was not there, either. But when I placed myself in tune with what I believe to be fundamental truths of life, when I began to develop my limited ability, to rid my mind of all kinds of tangled thoughts and fill it with zeal and courage and love, when I gave myself a chance by treating myself decently and sensibly, I began to feel the stimulating, warm glow of happiness. None think the great unhappy but the great. Faith is a bridge across the gulf of death. Tomorrow is the day when idlers work, and fools reform, and mortal men lay hold on heaven. Too low they build, who build beneath the stars. Procrastination is the thief of time. Whate'er th' Almighty's subsequent command, His first command is this - "Man, love thyself." By night an atheist half believes in God. The soft whispers of the God in man. He mourns the dead who lives as they desire. None think the great unhappy, but the great. None think the great unhappy, but the great. |
