The most positive men are the most credulous. – Alexander Pope
It is with narrow-souled people as with narrow-necked bottles: the less they have in them, the more noise they make in pouring it out. – Alexander Pope

Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
And without sneering teach the rest to sneer;
Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike,
Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike;
Alike reservd to blame, or to commend,
A timrous foe, and a suspicious friend. – Alexander Pope
