Alexander Pope
It is sure the hardest science to forget!
Alexander Pope
Some judge of authors' names, not works, and then Nor praise nor blame the writings, but the men.
Alexander Pope
Some old men, continually praise the time of their youth. In fact, you would almost think that there were no fools in their days, but unluckily they themselves are left as an example.
Alexander Pope
Avoid Extremes and shun the fault of such Who still are pleas'd too little or too much.
Alexander Pope
Who dies in youth and vigour, dies the best.
