Alexander Pope

Is pride, the never-failing vice of fools. ”

Tis but a part we see, and not a whole. ”

Many men have been capable of doing a wise thing, more a cunning thing, but very few a generous thing. ”

Man never thinks himself happy, but when he enjoys those things which others want or desire. ”

But Satan now is wiser than of yore, and tempts by making rich, not making poor. ”

The difference is too nice - Where ends the virtue or begins the vice. ”

Health consists with temperance alone. ”

Happy the man whose wish and care a few paternal acres bound, content to breathe his native air in his own ground. ”

Satan is wiser now than before, and tempts by making rich instead of poor. ”

And all who told it added something new, and all who heard it, made enlargements too. ”
