More quotes by Alexander Pope
Tis from high Life high Characters are drawn A Saint in Crape is twice a Saint in Lawn: A Judge is just, a Chanc'llor juster still A Gownman learn'd a Bishop what you will Wise if a minister but if a King, More wise, more learn'd, more just, more ev'rything.
Alexander Pope
Modest plainness sets off sprightly wit, For works may have more with than does 'em good, As bodies perish through excess of blood.
Alexander Pope
Worth makes the man, and want of it the fellow The rest is all but leather and prunello.
Alexander Pope
Our proper bliss depends on what we blame.
Alexander Pope
The time shall come, when, free as seas or wind, Unbounded Thames shall flow for all mankind, Whole nations enter with each swelling tide, And seas but join the regions they divide Earth's distant ends our glory shall behold, And the new world launch forth to seek the old.
Alexander Pope
Learn from the beasts the physic of the field.
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
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
I think a good deal may be said to extenuate the fault of bad Poets. What we call a Genius, is hard to be distinguish'd by a man himself, from a strong inclination: and if his genius be ever so great, he can not at first discover it any other way, than by giving way to that prevalent propensity which renders him the more liable to be mistaken.
Alexander Pope
A patriot is a fool in ev'ry age.
Alexander Pope
Judge not of actions by their mere effect Dive to the center, and the cause detect. Great deeds from meanest springs may take their course, And smallest virtues from a mighty source.
Alexander Pope
So upright Quakers please both man and God.
Alexander Pope
Ambition first sprung from your blest abodes: the glorious fault of angels and of gods.
Alexander Pope
From the moment one sets up for an author, one must be treated as ceremoniously, that is as unfaithfully, as a king's favorite or a king.
Alexander Pope
Die of a rose in aromatic pain.
Alexander Pope
Reason, however able, cool at best, Cares not for service, or but serves when prest, Stays till we call, and then not often near.
Alexander Pope
Count all th' advantage prosperous Vice attains, 'Tis but what Virtue flies from and disdains: And grant the bad what happiness they would, One they must want--which is, to pass for good.
Alexander Pope
When two people compliment each other with the choice of anything, each of them generally gets that which he likes least.
Alexander Pope
Extremes in nature equal ends produce In man they join to some mysterious use.
Alexander Pope
Some have at first for wits, then poets passed, Turned critics next, and proved plain fools at last.
Alexander Pope
