More quotes by Alexander Pope
True friendship's laws are by this rule express'd, Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest.
Alexander Pope
Where's the man who counsel can bestow, still pleased to teach, and yet not proud to know.
Alexander Pope
Women, as they are like riddles in being unintelligible, so generally resemble them in this, that they please us no longer once we know them.
Alexander Pope
On life's vast ocean diversely we sail, Reason the card, but passion is the gale Nor God alone in the still calm we find, He mounts the storm, and walks upon the wind.
Alexander Pope
Nor public flame, nor private, dares to shine Nor human spark is left, nor glimpse divine! Lo! thy dread empire, Chaos! is restored Light dies before thy uncreating word: Thy hand, great Anarch! lets the curtain fall And universal darkness buries all.
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
Love, free as air, at sight of human ties, Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies.
Alexander Pope
It is not so much the being exempt from faults, as having overcome them, that is an advantage to us.
Alexander Pope
The people's voice is odd, It is, and it is not, the voice of God.
Alexander Pope
On life's vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale.
Alexander Pope
Is pride, the never-failing vice of fools.
Alexander Pope
Get your enemy to read your works in order to mend them, for your friend is so much your second self that he will judge too like you.
Alexander Pope
Persons of genius, and those who are most capable of art, are always most fond of nature: as such are chiefly sensible, that all art consists in the imitation and study of nature.
Alexander Pope
Every professional was once an amateur.
Alexander Pope
And little eagles wave their wings in gold.
Alexander Pope
