Night Thoughts Quotes

“At thirty a man suspects himself a fool;
Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan;
At fifty chides his infamous delay,
Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve;
In all the magnanimity of thought
Resolves; and re-resolves; then dies the same.”
― Edward Young, Night Thoughts: Or, the Complaint and the Consolation

“All men think all men mortal but themselves.”
