Alexander Pope

Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends. ”

Not always actions show the man; we find who does a kindness is not therefore kind. ”

A person who is too nice an observer of the business of the crowd, like one who is too curious in observing the labor of bees, will often be stung for his curiosity. ”

If a man's character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business. ”

So vast is art, so narrow human wit. ”

One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit. ”

There is a certain majesty in simplicity which is far above all the quaintness of wit. ”

A wit with dunces, and a dunce with wits. ”

Wit is the lowest form of humor. ”

Praise undeserved, is satire in disguise. ”
