Where'er you walk cool gales shall fan the glade, Trees where you sit shall crowd into a shade. Where'er you tread the blushing flowers shall rise, And all things flourish where you turn your eyes.

More quotes by Alexander Pope

Image
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
Image
Pretty! in amber to observe the forms Of hairs, of straws, or dirt, or grubs, or worms! The things, we know, are neither rich nor rare, But wonder how the devil they got there.
Alexander Pope
Image
Age and want sit smiling at the gate.
Alexander Pope
Image
Fame, wealth, and honour! what are you to Love?
Alexander Pope
Image
The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.
Alexander Pope
Image
All Nature is but art, unknown to thee All chance, direction, which thou canst not see All discord, harmony not understood All partial evil, universal good.
Alexander Pope

Simplicity is the mean between ostentation and rusticity.
Alexander Pope
Image
Consult the genius of the place, that paints as you plant, and as you work.
Alexander Pope
Image
The Physician, by the study and inspection of urine and ordure, approves himself in the science and in like sort should our author accustom and exercise his imagination upon the dregs of nature.
Alexander Pope
Image
A tree is a nobler object than a prince in his coronation-robes.
Alexander Pope
Image
Two women seldom grow intimate but at the expense of a third person they make friendships as kings of old made leagues, who sacrificed some poor animal betwixt them, and commenced strict allies so the ladies, after they have pulled some character to pieces, are from henceforth inviolable friends.
Alexander Pope
Image
Superstition is the spleen of the soul.
Alexander Pope
Image
For lo! the board with cups and spoons is crowned.The berries crackle, and the mill turns round ... At once they gratify their scent and taste.And frequent cups prolong the rich repast... Coffee (which makes the politician wise And see through all things with his half-shut eyes).
Alexander Pope
Image
What is it to be wise? 'Tis but to know how little can be known, To see all others' faults, and feel our own.
Alexander Pope
Image
Hear how the birds, on ev'ry blooming spray, With joyous musick wake the dawning day.
Alexander Pope
Image
But if you'll prosper, mark what I advise, Whom age, and long experience render wise.
Alexander Pope
Image
In various talk th' instructive hours they past, Who gave the ball, or paid the visit last One speaks the glory of the British queen, And one describes a charming Indian screen A third interprets motions, looks, and eyes At every word a reputation dies.
Alexander Pope
Image
The learned is happy, nature to explore The fool is happy, that he knows no more.
Alexander Pope
Image
Chaste to her husband, frank to all beside, A teeming mistress, but a barren bride.
