Evidently stolen from Dr. Young:—
Man wants but little, nor that little long.—Night Thoughts.
Be wise to-day: ’tis madness to defer.—Night Thoughts.
But Congreve had said, not long before,—
Defer not till to-morrow to be wise;
To-morrow’s sun to thee may never rise.—Letter to Cobham.
Like angels’ visits, few and far between.—Campbell: Pleasures of Hope.
