Charles Churchill Quotes

It can't be Nature, for it is not sense.

Thy danger chiefly lies in acting well;
No crime's so great as daring to excel.

Fashion—a word which knaves and fools may use,
Their knavery and folly to excuse.
To copy beauties, forfeits all pretence
To fame—to copy faults, is want of sense.

Where he falls short, 'tis Nature's fault alone;
Where he succeeds, the merit's all his own.
