More quotes by Alexander Pope

Image
Who know but He, whose hand the lightning forms, Who heaves old ocean, and who wings the storms, Pours fierce ambition in a Caesar's mind.
Alexander Pope
Image
Simplicity is the mean between ostentation and rusticity.
Alexander Pope
Image
As some to church repair, Not for the doctrine, but the music there. These equal syllables alone require, Though oft the ear the open vowels tire While expletives their feeble aid do join, And ten low words oft creep in one dull line.
Alexander Pope
Image
Speed the soft intercourse from soul to soul, And waft a sigh from Indus to the Pole.
Alexander Pope
Image
Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, A being darkly wise and rudely great... He hangs between in doubt to act or rest In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast In doubt his mind or body to prefer Born to die, and reasoning but to err.
Alexander Pope
Image
Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!
Alexander Pope
Image
Slave to no sect, who takes no private road, But looks through Nature up to Nature's God.
Alexander Pope
Image
Some praise at morning what they blame at night, but always think the last opinion right.
Alexander Pope
Image
Ambition first sprung from your blest abodes: the glorious fault of angels and of gods.
Alexander Pope
Image
Poets heap virtues, painters gems, at will, And show their zeal, and hide their want of skill.
Alexander Pope
Image
Oh! if to dance all night, and dress all day, Charm'd the small-pox, or chas'd old age away . . . . To patch, nay ogle, might become a saint, Nor could it sure be such a sin to paint.
Alexander Pope
Image
Interspersed in lawn and opening glades, Thin trees arise that shun each others' shades.
Alexander Pope
Image
Did some more sober critics come abroad? If wrong, I smil'd if right, I kiss'd the rod.
Alexander Pope
Image
Fear not the anger of the wise to raise Those best can bear reproof who merit praise.
Alexander Pope
Image
Monuments, like men, submit to fate.
Alexander Pope
Image
And little eagles wave their wings in gold.
Alexander Pope
Image
It is observable that the ladies frequent tragedies more than comedies the reason may be, that in tragedy their sex is deified and adored, in comedy exposed and ridiculed.
Alexander Pope
Image
Dulness! whose good old cause I yet defend, With whom my muse began, with who shall end.
Alexander Pope
Image
What Reason weaves, by Passion is undone.
Alexander Pope
Image
The learned is happy, nature to explore The fool is happy, that he knows no more.
