Live While You Live, The Epicure Would Say, And Seize The Pleasures Of The Present Day

Home › Fortune Cookies › Miscellaneous Collections

Live while you live, the epicure would say,
And seize the pleasures of the present day;
Live while you live, the sacred preacher cries,
And give to God each moment as it flies.
Lord, in my views, let both united be:
I live in pleasure when I live to thee.
-- Philip Doddridge (1702-1751)
-- Epigram on his Family Arms
