Daily quote |
Alexander PopeNot always actions show the man; we find who does a kindness is not therefore kind. Not to go back is somewhat to advance, and men must walk, at least, before they dance. Of Manners gentle, of Affections mild; In Wit a man; Simplicity, a child. On life's vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale. On wrongs swift vengeance waits. One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit. Order is heaven's first law. Our passions are like convulsion fits, which, though they make us stronger for a time, leave us the weaker ever after. Party is the madness of many, for the gain of a few. Party-spirit at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few. |
