More quotes by Alexander Pope
What Tully said of war may be applied to disputing: It should be always so managed as to remember that the only true end of it is peace.

Alexander Pope

Heaven forming each on other to depend, A master, or a servant, or a friend, Bids each on other for assistance call, Till one man's weakness grows the strength of all.
Alexander Pope
Silence! coeval with eternity! thou wert ere Nature's self began to be thine was the sway ere heaven was formed on earth, ere fruitful thought conceived creation's birth.
Alexander Pope
And more than echoes talk along the walls.
Alexander Pope
Some men's wit is like a dark lantern, which serves their own turn and guides them their own way, but is never known (according to the Scripture phrase) either to shine forth before men, or to glorify their Father in heaven.
Alexander Pope
It is not so much the being exempt from faults, as having overcome them, that is an advantage to us.
Alexander Pope
