Alexander Pope

Quotes

• “It is with narrow-souled people as with narrow necked bottles: the less they have in them, the more noise they make in pouring it out.”

• “True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, / As those move easiest who have learn’d to dance.”

• “To err is human, to forgive divine.”

• “Thus let me live, unseen, unknown; / Thus unlamented let me die; / Steal from the world, and not a stone / Tell where I lie.”

• “Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon.”
