Alexander Pope
Image
Vices and virtues are of a strange nature, for the more we have, the fewer we think we have.
Alexander Pope

Order is heaven's first law.

Image
Seas roll to waft me, suns to light me rise My footstool earth, my canopy the skies.
Alexander Pope
Image
Ye flowers that drop, forsaken by the spring, Ye birds that, left by summer, cease to sing, Ye trees that fade, when Autumn heats remove, Say, is not absence death to those who love?
Alexander Pope
Image
So perish all who do the like again.
Alexander Pope
Image
I find myself hoping a total end of all the unhappy divisions of mankind by party-spirit, which at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.
Alexander Pope
Image
Judges and senates have been bought for gold Esteem and love were never to be sold.
