Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
But Satan now is wiser than of yore, and tempts by making rich, not making poor.
Alexander Pope
Court-virtues bear, like gems, the highest rate, Born where Heav'n influence scarce can penetrate. In life's low vale, the soil the virtues like, They please as beauties, here as wonders strike.
Alexander Pope
I lisp'd in numbers, for the numbers came.
Alexander Pope
Good God! how often are we to die before we go quite off this stage? In every friend we lose a part of ourselves, and the best part.
Alexander Pope
Not always actions show the man we find who does a kindness is not therefore kind.
Alexander Pope
