Quotes

Poetic justice, with her lifted scale, Where, in nice balance, truth with gold she weighs, And solid pudding against empty praise. Here she beholds the chaos dark and deep, Where nameless somethings in their causes sleep, Till genial Jacob, or a warm third day, Call forth each mass, a poem, or a play: How hints, like spawn, scarce quick in embryo lie, How new-born nonsense first is taught to cry. Alexander Pope
A person who is too nice an observer of the business of the crowd, like one who is too curious in observing the labor of bees, will often be stung for his curiosity. Alexander Pope
Alexander Pope quote: "'Tis not enough your counsel still be true; Blunt truths more..."
'Tis not enough your counsel still be true; Blunt truths more mischief than nice falsehoods do. Alexander Pope
Alexander Pope quote: "The difference is too nice - Where ends the virtue or begins..."
The difference is too nice - Where ends the virtue or begins the vice. Alexander Pope
