Alexander Pope
Virtue alone is happiness below.
Alexander Pope
Heaven forming each on other to depend, A master, or a servant, or a friend, Bids each on other for assistance call, Till one man's weakness grows the strength of all.
Alexander Pope
Is pride, the never-failing vice of fools.
Alexander Pope
