Probabilities For Alexander Pope

To err is human; to forgive, divine

1. Shared virtues be are friends eternal

2. A futile step is a worthless journey

3. In a public forum, liberty is oft impugned

4. Evil is often found at the end of a long leash

5. Prepare for war whenever peace is at hand

6. Vice is a companion of the weak

7. Opportunity is a constant to closed doors

8. Whenever there is light, shadows manifest itself

9. One must first be in the dark, to see the light

10. Fairytales are embellished untruths

11. An unscripted life is a birthright of imagination

12. An encrypted mind is well-rehearsed

13. The unimaginative is a sharp spoon

14. Lethargy is a reason for windows 

15. Spare the rod and raise yourself
