Fools admire, but men of sense approve.
Alexander Pope
Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.
Alexander Pope
Many men have been capable of doing a wise thing, more a cunning thing, but very few a generous thing.
Alexander Pope
Trust not yourself, but your defects to know, make use of every friend and every foe.
Alexander Pope
Never elated when someone's oppressed, never dejected when another one's blessed.
Alexander Pope
Be thou the first true merit to befriend, his praise is lost who stays till all commend.
Alexander Pope
