Edward Young Mind Quotations

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 the 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.

Where Nature's end of language is declin'd, And men talk only to conceal the mind.

The first sure symptom of a mind in health Is rest of heart and pleasure felt at home.

We bleed, we tremble; we forget, we smile - The mind turns fool, before the cheek is dry
