“ ”Tis hard to say, if greater want of skill
Appear in writing or in judging ill;
But, of the two, less dang'rous is th' offence
To tire our patience, than mislead our sense.

Additional quotes by Alexander Pope
How happy he, who free from care
The rage of courts, and noise of towns; Contented breathes his native air,
In his own grounds
With too much quickness ever to be taught, with too much thinking to have common thought: You purchase pain with all t hat joy can give, and die of nothing but a rage to live
To shoot is human, to make your own bullets is divine. Let’s be honest, we were all beginners at one point or another.
