A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring.
-Alexander Pope
To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.
-Alexander Pope
Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
-Alexander Pope
But Satan now is wiser than of yore, and tempts by making rich, not making poor.
-Alexander Pope
To err is human; to forgive, divine.
-Alexander Pope
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
-Alexander Pope
Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
-Alexander Pope
Never find fault with the absent.
