The laughers are a majority.
Alexander Pope
Image
Where London's column, pointing at the skies, Like a tall bully, lifts the head, and lies.
Alexander Pope
Image
A long, exact, and serious comedy In every scene some moral let it teach, And, if it can, at once both please and preach.
Alexander Pope
Image

Alexander Pope
Image

Alexander Pope
Image
Unblemish'd let me live or die unknown Oh, grant an honest fame, or grant me none!
Alexander Pope
Image
Fools admire, but men of sense approve.
Alexander Pope

Drink is the feast of reason and the flow of soul.
Alexander Pope
Image
Teach me to feel another's woe, to hide the fault I see, that mercy I to others show, that mercy show to me.
Alexander Pope
Image
Let Joy or Ease, let Affluence or Content, And the gay Conscience of a life well spent, Calm ev'ry thought, inspirit ev'ry grace, Glow in thy heart, and smile upon thy face.
Alexander Pope
Image
Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
Alexander Pope
Image
Sickness is a sort of early old age it teaches us a diffidence in our earthly state.
Alexander Pope
Image
A generous friendship no cold medium knows, Burns with one love, with one resentment glows.
