More quotes by Alexander Pope
While I live, no rich or noble knave shall walk the world in credit to his grave.
Alexander Pope
Our rural ancestors, with little blest, Patient of labor when the end was rest, Indulged the day that housed their annual grain, With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain.
Alexander Pope
Know then this truth, enough for man to know virtue alone is happiness below.
Alexander Pope
Whate'er the talents, or howe'er designed, We hang one jingling padlock on the mind.
Alexander Pope
On wings of wind came flying all abroad.
Alexander Pope
Charm strikes the sight, but merit wins the soul.
Alexander Pope
Careless of censure, nor too fond of fame, Still pleased to praise, yet not afraid to blame, Averse alike to flatter or offend, Not free from faults, nor yet too vain to mend.
Alexander Pope
Virtue she finds too painful an endeavour, content to dwell in decencies for ever.
Alexander Pope
Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
Alexander Pope
A naked lover bound and bleeding lies!
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
We ought, in humanity, no more to despise a man for the misfortunes of the mind than for those of the body, when they are such as he cannot help were this thoroughly considered we should no more laugh at a man for having his brains cracked than for having his head broke.
Alexander Pope
Here hills and vales, the woodland and the plain Here earth and water seem to strive again, Not chaos-like together crushed and bruised, But, as the world, harmoniously confused: Where order in variety we see, And where, though all things differ, all agree.
Alexander Pope
All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul.
Alexander Pope
Therefore they who say our thoughts are not our own because they resemble the Ancients, may as well say our faces are not our own, because they are like our Fathers: And indeed it is very unreasonable, that people should expect us to be Scholars, and yet be angry to find us so.
Alexander Pope
Who are next to knaves? Those that converse with them.
Alexander Pope
There is a certain majesty in simplicity which is far above all the quaintness of wit.
Alexander Pope
One thought of thee puts all the pomp to flight Priests, tapers, temples, swim before my sight.
Alexander Pope
