Image
The man that loves and laughs must sure do well.
Alexander Pope
Image
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.

Calm, thinking villains, whom no faith could fix, Of crooked counsels and dark politics.
Alexander Pope
Image
Be niggards of advice on no pretense For the worst avarice is that of sense.
Alexander Pope
Image
The Muse but serv'd to ease some friend, not wife, / To help me through this long disease, my life.
Alexander Pope
Image
Whate'er the passion, knowledge, fame, or pelf, Not one will change his neighbor with himself.
Alexander Pope

A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind.
Alexander Pope
Image
Oft in dreams invention we bestow to change a flounce or add a furbelow.
Alexander Pope
Image
Of little use, the man you may suppose, Who says in verse what others say in prose Yet let me show a poet's of some weight, And (though no soldier) useful to the state, What will a child learn sooner than a song? What better teach a foreigner the tongue? What's long or short, each accent where to place And speak in public with some sort of grace?
