"Men must be taught as if you taught them not, and things unknown proposed as things forgot." ― Alexander Pope Topic(s): Men More From Alexander Pope "Some old men, continually praise the time of their youth. In fact, you would almost think that there were no fools in their days, but unluckily they themselves are left as an example." "Trust not yourself, but your defects to know, make use of every friend and every foe." "Pride is still aiming at the best houses: Men would be angels, angels would be gods. Aspiring to be gods, if angels fell; aspiring to be angels men rebel." More In Men "Wise men don’t need advice.
