More quotes by Alexander Pope
Tis all in vain to keep a constant pother About one vice and fall into another.
Alexander Pope
Get place and wealth, if possible with grace if not, by any means get wealth and place.
Alexander Pope
A God without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but fate and nature.
Alexander Pope
Tis thus the mercury of man is fix'd, Strong grows the virtue with his nature mix'd.
Alexander Pope
True politeness consists in being easy one's self, and in making every one about one as easy as one can.
Alexander Pope
Presumptuous Man! the reason wouldst thou find,Why form'd so weak, so little, and so blind?First, if thou canst, the harder reason guess,Why form'd no weaker, blinder, and no less!Ask of thy mother earth, why oaks are madeTaller or stronger than the weeds they shade?Or ask of yonder argent fields above,Why Jove's Satellites are less than Jove?
Alexander Pope

I think a good deal may be said to extenuate the fault of bad Poets. What we call a Genius, is hard to be distinguish'd by a man himself, from a strong inclination: and if his genius be ever so great, he can not at first discover it any other way, than by giving way to that prevalent propensity which renders him the more liable to be mistaken.
Alexander Pope
All nature mourns, the skies relent in showers hushed are the birds, and closed the drooping flowers.
Alexander Pope
When two people compliment each other with the choice of anything, each of them generally gets that which he likes least.
Alexander Pope
Nay, fly to altars there they'll talk you dead For fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Alexander Pope
Wit is the lowest form of humor.
Alexander Pope
Some praise at morning what they blame at night, but always think the last opinion right.
Alexander Pope
Ten censure wrong for one who writes amiss.
Alexander Pope
