More quotes by Alexander Pope
True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, As those move easiest who have learned to dance.
Alexander Pope
Dogs, ye have had your day!
Alexander Pope
Love, free as air, at sight of human ties, Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies.
Alexander Pope
Learn to live well, or fairly make your will You've play'd, and lov'd, and ate, and drank your fill: Walk sober off, before a sprightlier age Comes titt'ring on, and shoves you from the stage.
Alexander Pope
Some praise at morning what they blame at night, but always think the last opinion right.
Alexander Pope
Expression is the dress of thought.
Alexander Pope
Here am I, dying of a hundred good symptoms.
Alexander Pope
Whether the darken'd room to muse invite, Or whiten'd wall provoke the skew'r to write In durance, exile, Bedlam, or the Mint, Like Lee or Budgel I will rhyme and print.
Alexander Pope
The world is a thing we must of necessity either laugh at or be angry at if we laugh at it, they say we are proud if we are angry at it, they say we are ill-natured.
Alexander Pope
The pure and noble, the graceful and dignified, simplicity of language is nowhere in such perfection as in the Scriptures and Homer. The whole book of Job, with regard both to sublimity of thought and morality, exceeds, beyond all comparison, the most noble parts of Homer.
Alexander Pope
See how the World its Veterans rewards! A Youth of Frolics, an old Age of Cards Fair to no purpose, artful to no end, Young without Lovers, old without a Friend A Fop their Passion, but their Prize a Sot Alive ridiculous, and dead forgot.
Alexander Pope
Whether the charmer sinner it, or saint it, If folly grow romantic, I must paint it.
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
The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them
Alexander Pope
Fear not the anger of the wise to raise Those best can bear reproof who merit praise.
Alexander Pope
The man that loves and laughs must sure do well.
Alexander Pope
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
The approach of night The skies yet blushing with departing light, When falling dews with spangles deck'd the glade, And the low sun had lengthen'd ev'ry shade.
Alexander Pope
Every woman is at heart a rake.
Alexander Pope
All looks yellow to a jaundiced eye.
