Alexander Pope
The young disease, that must subdue at length, Grows with his growth, and strengthens with his strength.
Alexander Pope
Silence! coeval with eternity! thou wert ere Nature's self began to be thine was the sway ere heaven was formed on earth, ere fruitful thought conceived creation's birth.
Alexander Pope
Get your enemy to read your works in order to mend them, for your friend is so much your second self that he will judge too like you.
