Alexander Pope
To Him no high, no low, no great, no small He fills, He bounds, connects and equals all!
Alexander Pope
Teach me to feel another's woe, to hide the fault I see, that mercy I to others show, that mercy show to me.
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
Leave not a foot of verse, a foot of stone, A Page, a Grave, that they can call their own But spread, my sons, your glory thin or thick, On passive paper, or on solid brick.

Alexander Pope
Sole judge of Truth, in endless Error hurled: / The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!

Alexander Pope
A wise physician, skill'd our wounds to heal, is more than armies to the public weal.
Alexander Pope
Mankind is unamendable.
Alexander Pope
Love the offender, yet detest the offense.
Alexander Pope
Ask for what end the heavenly bodies shine, Earth for whose use? Pride answers, 'Tis for mine For me kind nature wakes her genial power, Suckles each herb, and spreads out every flower.
Alexander Pope
Where's the man who counsel can bestow, still pleased to teach, and yet not proud to know.
Alexander Pope
Our judgments, like our watches, none go just alike, yet each believes his own
Alexander Pope
But to the world no bugbear is so great, As want of figure and a small estate.
Alexander Pope
