Or whence this secret dread and inward horror

Of falling into nought? Why shrinks the soul

Back on herself and startles at destruction?

—’Tis the Divinity that stirs within us;

’Tis heaven itself that points out an hereafter,

And intimates Eternity to man.

Addison, Cato

(2) Be wise to-day: ’tis madness to defer;

Next day the fatal precedent will plead;

Thus on, till wisdom is push’d out of life.
