More quotes by Alexander Pope
And make each day a critic on the last.
Alexander Pope
Soft is the strain when zephyr gently blows.
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
Some place the bliss in action, some in ease, Those call it pleasure, and contentment these.
Alexander Pope
Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be.
Alexander Pope
Placed on this isthmus of a middle state.
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
How do we know that we have a right to kill creatures that we are so little above, as dogs, for our curiosity or even for some use to us?
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
Act well your part, there all the honour lies.
Alexander Pope
The difference is too nice - Where ends the virtue or begins the vice.
Alexander Pope
Ask you what provocation I have had? The strong antipathy of good to bad.
Alexander Pope
Say, will the falcon, stooping from above, Smit with her varying plumage, spare the dove? Admires the jay the insect's gilded wings? Or hears the hawk when Philomela sings?
Alexander Pope
chaos of thought and passion, all confus'd.
Alexander Pope
As with narrow-necked bottles the less they have in them, the more noise they make in pouring out.
Alexander Pope
The man that loves and laughs must sure do well.
Alexander Pope
