More quotes by Alexander Pope
'Tis not a lip, or eye, we beauty call, But the joint force and full result of all.
Alexander Pope
The race by vigour, not by vaunts, is won.
Alexander Pope
Jarring interests of themselves create the according music of a well-mixed state.
Alexander Pope
When to the Permanent is sacrificed the Mutable, the prize is thine: the drop returneth whence it came. The Open Path leads to the changeless change - Non-Being, the glorious state of Absoluteness, the Bliss past human thought.
Alexander Pope
Our rural ancestors, with little blest, Patient of labor when the end was rest, Indulged the day that housed their annual grain, With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain.
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
Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.
Alexander Pope
True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, As those move easiest who have learned to dance.
Alexander Pope
For I, who hold sage Homer's rule the best, Welcome the coming, speed the going guest.
Alexander Pope
While pensive poets painful vigils keep, Sleepless themselves, to give their readers sleep.
Alexander Pope
A youth of frolic, an old age of cards.
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
Satire or sense, alas! Can Sporus feel? Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?
Alexander Pope
I believe no one qualification is so likely to make a good writer, as the power of rejecting his own thoughts.
Alexander Pope
A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind.
Alexander Pope
O Love! for Sylvia let me gain the prize, And make my tongue victorious as her eyes.
Alexander Pope
Thus unlamented pass the proud away, The gaze of fools and pageant of a day So perish all, whose breast ne'er learn'd to glow For others' good, or melt at others' woe.
Alexander Pope
Know then thyself, presume not God to scan The proper study of mankind is man.
Alexander Pope
Education forms the common mind.
Alexander Pope
The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd
