More quotes by Alexander Pope
Heaven forming each on other to depend, A master, or a servant, or a friend, Bids each on other for assistance call, Till one man's weakness grows the strength of all.
Alexander Pope
Lo! The poor Indian, whose untutored mind sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind.
Alexander Pope
At present we can only reason of the divine justice from what we know of justice in man. When we are in other scenes, we may have truer and nobler ideas of it but while we are in this life, we can only speak from the volume that is laid open before us.
Alexander Pope
How do we know that we have a right to kill creatures that we are so little above, as dogs, for our curiosity or even for some use to us?
Alexander Pope
Health consists with temperance alone.
Alexander Pope
Consult the genius of the place, that paints as you plant, and as you work.
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
Modest plainness sets off sprightly wit, For works may have more with than does 'em good, As bodies perish through excess of blood.
Alexander Pope
Lulled in the countless chambers of the brain, our thoughts are linked by many a hidden chain awake but one, and in, what myriads rise!
Alexander Pope
Hope humbly then with trembling pinions soar Wait the great teacher, Death, and God adore What future bliss He gives not thee to know, But gives that hope to be thy blessing now.
Alexander Pope
And more than echoes talk along the walls.
Alexander Pope
No craving void left aching in the soul.
Alexander Pope
Art still followed where Rome's eagles flew.
Alexander Pope
A generous friendship no cold medium knows, Burns with one love, with one resentment glows.
Alexander Pope
There still remains to mortify a wit The many-headed monster of the pit.
Alexander Pope
