True wit is Nature to advantage dress'd,
What oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd.

I like Pope. He's a very accessible poet - proven time and again by the fact that he's quoted everywhere without any credit (the quote above is from his Essay on Criticism) - and he made good sense. And he made fun of everyone, so he sounds like my kind of guy.

Anyway, I like that he said what he said about wit, and then went on to be someone who's so widely quoted. Makes him seem almost clairvoyant.
