Alexander Pope
Why did I write? What sin to me unknown dipped me in ink, my parents , or my own?
Alexander Pope
Such as are still observing upon others are like those who are always abroad at other men's houses, reforming everything there while their own runs to ruin.
Alexander Pope
What Reason weaves, by Passion is undone.

Some judge of authors' names, not works, and then Nor praise nor blame the writings, but the men.
Alexander Pope
Why has not Man a microscopic eye? For this plain reason, Man is not a Fly. Say what the use, were finer optics giv'n, T' inspect a mite, not comprehend the heav'n.
Alexander Pope
