Young Poet

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or poet:

    The heart never grows better by age; I fear rather worse; always harder. A young liar will be an old one, and a young knave will only be a greater knave as he grows older.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Sir, I admit your gen’ral rule
    That every poet is a fool:
    But you yourself may serve to show it,
    That every fool is not a poet.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
