In seriousness
Alexander Popes epigrams are neat
"'Tis with our judgments as your watches, none go just alike, yet each believes his own."
"One science only will one genius fit; So vast is art, so narrow human wit."
"A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: There shallow drafts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sobers us again."
"We think our fathers fools, so wise we grow; Our wiser sons, no doubt, will think us so."
