To see all others faults, and feel our own

James Geary's The World in a Phrase: A Brief History of the Aphorism. All sorts of little insights pop up as I read along.

I knew the phrase "The moving finger writes; and, having writ, moves on" but did not realize it came from Edward Fitzgerald's translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

Likewise, as a teenager, I was particularly taken with Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception. If I ever knew it, I had forgotten that the title came from William Blake (of course):

If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.

Then there is Alexander Pope's profoundly humble and humane:

In Parts superior what advantage lies?
Tell (for You can) what is it to be wise?
'Tis but to know how little can be known;
To see all others faults, and feel our own.
