Alexander Pope Lay Quotations

In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold; Alike fantastic, if too new, or old: Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in night;God said "Let Newton be" and all was light.

Be not the first by which a new thing is tried, or the last to lay the old aside.
