Sole judge of Truth, in endless Error hurled: / The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!
Alexander Pope
Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!
Alexander Pope
A king may be a tool, a thing of straw but if he serves to frighten our enemies, and secure our property, it is well enough a scarecrow is a thing of straw, but it protects the corn.
Alexander Pope
Wise wretch! with pleasures too refined to please, With too much spirit to be e'er at ease, With too much quickness ever to be taught, With too much thinking to have common thought: You purchase pain with all that joy can give, And die of nothing but a rage to live.
Alexander Pope
Taste, that eternal wanderer, which flies From head to ears, and now from ears to eyes.
Alexander Pope
For forms of government let fools contest Whate'er is best administer'd is best. For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight His can't be wrong whose life is in the right. In faith and hope the world will disagree, But all mankind's concern is charity.
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
Envy, to which th' ignoble mind's a slave, Is emulation in the learn'd or brave.
Alexander Pope
Tis strange the miser should his cares employTo gain those riches he can ne'er enjoyIs it less strange the prodigal should wasteHis wealth to purchase what he ne'er can taste?
Alexander Pope
Consult the genius of the place, that paints as you plant, and as you work.
Alexander Pope
Our rural ancestors, with little blest, Patient of labor when the end was rest, Indulged the day that housed their annual grain, With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain.
Alexander Pope
To wake the soul by tender strokes of art, To raise the genius, and to mend the heart To make mankind, in conscious virtue bold, Live o'er each Seene, and be what they behold: For this the Tragic Muse first trod the stage.
Alexander Pope
