We think our fathers fools, so wise we grow. Our wiser sons, no do

We think our fathers fools, so wise we grow. Our wiser sons, no doubt will think us so. – Alexander Pope

Other quotes by 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

I like cats….

Jerome, Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), 1889
