More quotes by Alexander Pope
But would you sing, and rival Orpheus' strain. The wond'ring forests soon should dance again The moving mountains hear the powerful call. And headlong streams hand listening in their fall!
Alexander Pope
So upright Quakers please both man and God.
Alexander Pope
And not a vanity is given in vain.
Alexander Pope
To the Elysian shades dismiss my soul, where no carnation fades.
Alexander Pope
First follow Nature, and your judgment frame By her just standard, which is still the same: Unerring nature, still divinely bright, One clear, unchanged, and universal light, Life, force, and beauty must to all impart, At once the source, and end, and test of art.
Alexander Pope
The meeting points the sacred hair dissever From the fair head, forever, and forever! Then flashed the living lightning from her eyes, And screams of horror rend th' affrighted skies.
Alexander Pope
Where'er you walk cool gales shall fan the glade, Trees where you sit shall crowd into a shade. Where'er you tread the blushing flowers shall rise, And all things flourish where you turn your eyes.
Alexander Pope
In men, we various ruling passions find In women, two almost divide the kind Those, only fixed, they first or last obey, The love of pleasure, and the love of sway.
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
But see, Orion sheds unwholesome dews Arise, the pines a noxious shade diffuse Sharp Boreas blows, and nature feels decay, Time conquers all, and we must time obey.
Alexander Pope
The finest minds, like the finest metals, dissolve the easiest.
Alexander Pope
The proper study of Mankind is Man.
Alexander Pope
Go, wiser thou! and in thy scale of sense weigh thy opinion against Providence.
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
Pride is still aiming at the best houses: Men would be angels, angels would be gods. Aspiring to be gods, if angels fell aspiring to be angels men rebel.
Alexander Pope
Pride, where wit fails, steps in to our defence, and fills up all the mighty void of sense.
Alexander Pope
Taste, that eternal wanderer, which flies From head to ears, and now from ears to eyes.
Alexander Pope
Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
Alexander Pope
Bear, like the Turk, no brother near the throne.
Alexander Pope
A brave man struggling in the storms of fate, And greatly falling with a falling state.
Alexander Pope
