More quotes by Alexander Pope
Whoe'er he be That tells my faults, I hate him mortally.
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be.
Alexander Pope

But if you'll prosper, mark what I advise, Whom age, and long experience render wise.
Alexander Pope
Every woman is at heart a rake.
Alexander Pope
A brave man struggling in the storms of fate, And greatly falling with a falling state.
Alexander Pope
New, distant Scenes of endless Science rise: So pleas'd at first, the towring Alps we try.
Alexander Pope
By flatterers besieged And so obliging that he ne'er obliged.
Alexander Pope
That virtue only makes our bliss below, And all our knowledge is ourselves to know.
Alexander Pope
He knows to live who keeps the middle state, and neither leans on this side nor on that.
Alexander Pope
