The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.
— Alexander Pope
So vast is art, so narrow human wit.
A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
Trust not yourself, but your defects to know, make use of every friend and every foe.
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
How prone to doubt, how cautious are the wise!
Of Manners gentle, of Affections mild; In Wit a man; Simplicity, a child.
No one should be ashamed to admit he is wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.
Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon.
A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring.
To err is human; to forgive, divine.
