"It is a miserable thing to be a dependent, and to have no other resource but the favor of great men."
"Last week I saw a woman flayed, and you will hardly believe how much it altered her person for the worse."
"'Tis an old maxim in the schools, That flattery's the food of fools; Yet now and then your men of wit. Will condescend to take a bit."
"I am convinced that if all who are of the same opinion were to meet, the place of meeting would not be large enough to contain them."
"A physician is an unfortunate gentleman who is every day required to perform a miracle; namely, to reconcile health with intemperance."
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.
