More from Jonathan Swift
"The only difference between a wise man and a fool is that a wise man knows he is a fool, and a fool thinks he is wise."
"She wears her clothes as if they were thrown on her with a pitchfork."
"The greatest inventions were at first but the rudiments of experiments."
"Dogs have at least the advantage over men, that they discover their friends, and bark at their enemies."
"I could wish that some of our young divines would not think it beneath them to consult the most celebrated plays and romances, as well as the most approved poets and orators."
About Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)
Anglo-Irish satirist and Dean of Dublin's St Patrick's Cathedral whose Gulliver's Travels (1726) and A Modest Proposal (1729) are the canonical English-language satires. Closely associated with Alexander Pope (Scriblerus Club poet and collaborator) and John Gay (Beggar's Opera author and satirical contemporary). For an intellectual contrast, see Daniel Defoe, English Whig journalist and Robinson Crusoe author (1660-1731) — Defoe's Crusoe (1719) celebrates Enlightenment self-reliance and the colonial-mercantile project; Swift's Gulliver (1726) systematically dismantles every form of human pretension Defoe celebrated. The cleanest Augustan Whig-vs-Tory literary pairing — optimistic-empirical vs misanthropic-satirical.
