Additional quotes by Alexander Pope

Sir, I admit your general rule,
That every poet is a fool.
But you yourself may prove to show it,
Every fool is not a poet.

Trust not yourself; but your defects to know,
Make use of ev'ry friend — and ev'ry foe.

He is the English Horace,

Know thy own point: this kind, this due degree Of blindness, weakness, Heav'n bestows on thee. - Alexander Pope
