More quotes by Alexander Pope
Awake, my St. John! leave all meaner things To low ambition and the pride of kings. Let us (since life can little more supply Than just to look about us, and to die) Expatiate free o'er all this scene of man A mighty maze! but not without a plan.
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
And write about it, Goddess, and about it!
Alexander Pope
Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
Alexander Pope
In lazy apathy let stoics boast, their virtue fix'd: 't is fix'd as in a frost contracted all, retiring to the breast but strength of mind is exercise, not rest.
Alexander Pope
A perfect judge will read each word of wit with the same spirit that its author writ.
Alexander Pope
Coffee which makes the politician wise, and see through all things with his half-shut eyes.
Alexander Pope
The hungry judges soon the sentence sign, and wretches hang that jurymen may dine.
Alexander Pope
