A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, where did that come from?
Alexander Pope 1688 to 1744
An Essay on Criticism is one of the first major poems written by the English writer
- A little learning is a dangerous thing;
- Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring.
This is in reference to the spring in the Pierian Mountains in Macedonia, sacred to the Muses. The first line of this couplet is often misquoted as "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing".The Essay also gives this famous line:
To err is human, to forgive divine.
The line "Fools Rush In Where Angels Fear to Tread" from Part III has become part of the popular lexicon, and has been used for and in various works. Comments to taglines82@gmail.com
