If it be the chief point of friendship to comply with a friend's notions and inclinations he possesses this is an eminent degree; he lies down when I sit, and walks when I walk, which is more that many good friends can pretend to do.

Additional quotes by Alexander Pope

For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight, His can't be wrong whose life is in the right.

In glitt'ring dust and painted fragments lie! 160
