“Envy will merit, as its shade, pursue,
But like a shadow, proves the substance true;
For envied wit, like Sol eclips'd, makes known
Th' opposing body's grossness, not its own.”
― Alexander Pope, An Essay On Criticism
Love and esteem are the first principles of friendship; it is always imperfect if either of these two are wanting.

Fame due to vaft defert is kept in store,
Unpaid till the deferver is no more
― William Congreve
Virtue's the friend of life, the soul of health, the poor man's comfort, and the rich man's wealth.

Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow;
He who would search for pearls, must dive below.
