Edward Young (1683 - April 5, 1765) was an English poet, best remembered for Night Thoughts.
- In youth, what disappointments of our own making: in age, what disappointments from the nature of things.
- Source: True Estimate of Human Life
- Like our shadows,
Our wishes lengthen as our sun declines.
- The course of Nature is the art of God.
- The man that blushes is not quite a brute.
- Too low they build who build beneath the stars.
- What we ardently wish, we believe.
