More quotes by Alexander Pope
I lisp'd in numbers, for the numbers came.
Alexander Pope
Who dare to love their country, and be poor.
Alexander Pope
And all who told it added something new, and all who heard it, made enlargements too.
Alexander Pope
I find myself hoping a total end of all the unhappy divisions of mankind by party-spirit, which at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.
Alexander Pope
No silver saints, by dying misers giv'n, Here brib'd the rage of ill-requited heav'n But such plain roofs as Piety could raise, And only vocal with the Maker's praise.
Alexander Pope
Truths would you teach, or save a sinking land? All fear, none aid you, and few understand.
Alexander Pope
A wit with dunces, and a dunce with wits.
Alexander Pope
Jarring interests of themselves create the according music of a well-mixed state.
Alexander Pope
Some praise at morning what they blame at night, but always think the last opinion right.
Alexander Pope
Good-nature and good-sense must ever join To err is human, to forgive, divine.
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
Eye Nature's walks, shoot folly as it flies, And catch the manners living as they rise Laugh where we must, be candid where we can, But vindicate the ways of God to man.
Alexander Pope
As some to church repair, Not for the doctrine, but the music there. These equal syllables alone require, Though oft the ear the open vowels tire While expletives their feeble aid do join, And ten low words oft creep in one dull line.
Alexander Pope
The most positive men are the most credulous, since they most believe themselves, and advise most with their falsest flatterer and worst enemy--their own self-love.
Alexander Pope
From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part, And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art.
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
Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?
Alexander Pope
As some to Church repair, not for the doctrine, but the music there.
Alexander Pope
All Nature is but art, unknown to thee All chance, direction, which thou canst not see All discord, harmony not understood All partial evil, universal good.
Alexander Pope
When rumours increase, and when there is an abundance of noise and clamour, believe the second report.
Alexander Pope
