More quotes by Alexander Pope
To happy convents, bosomed deep in vines, Where slumber abbots, purple as their wines.
Alexander Pope
To rest, the cushion and soft dean invite, who never mentions hell to ears polite.
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
The spider's touch, how exquisitely fine! Feels at each thread, and lives along the line.
Alexander Pope
Men, some to business, some to pleasure take But every woman is at heart a rake.
Alexander Pope
How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence?
Alexander Pope
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown, Thus unlamented let me die, Steal from the world, and not a stone Tell where I lie.
Alexander Pope
Who ne'er knew joy but friendship might divide,Or gave his father grief but when he died.
Alexander Pope
The learned is happy, nature to explore The fool is happy, that he knows no more.
Alexander Pope
Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always To be Blest.
Alexander Pope
A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind.
Alexander Pope
All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul.
Alexander Pope
True Wit is Nature to advantage dress'd What oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd Something whose truth convinced at sight we find, That gives us back the image of our mind. As shades more sweetly recommend the light, So modest plainness sets off sprightly wit.
Alexander Pope
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Alexander Pope
Not to go back is somewhat to advance, and men must walk, at least, before they dance.
Alexander Pope
Judges and senates have been bought for gold Esteem and love were never to be sold.
Alexander Pope
The pure and noble, the graceful and dignified, simplicity of language is nowhere in such perfection as in the Scriptures and Homer. The whole book of Job, with regard both to sublimity of thought and morality, exceeds, beyond all comparison, the most noble parts of Homer.
Alexander Pope
In every work regard the writer's end, Since none can compass more than they intend.
Alexander Pope
Happy the man whose wish and care a few paternal acres bound, content to breathe his native air in his own ground.
Alexander Pope
Who shall decide when doctors disagree, And soundest casuists doubt, like you and me?
Alexander Pope
