English poet (1683-1765)

We are all born originals--why is it so many of us die copies
Be wise with speed . A fool at forty is a fool indeed.
A God all mercy is a God unjust.
All men think all men are mortal but themselves.
Much learning shows how little mortals know; much wealth, how little worldings enjoy.
Procrastination is the thief of time.
Some for renown, on scraps of learning dote, And think they grow immortal as they quote.
Too low they build, who build beneath the stars.
