More quotes by Alexander Pope
Education forms the common mind.
Alexander Pope
Expression is the dress of thought, and still Appears more decent as more suitable A vile conceit in pompous words express'd, Is like a clown in regal purple dress'd.
Alexander Pope
Let such teach others who themselves excel, And censure freely who have written well.
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. But generally true disputants are like true sportsmen,--their whole delight is in the pursuit and the disputant no more cares for the truth than the sportsman for the hare.
Alexander Pope
And die of nothing but a rage to live.
Alexander Pope
Choose a firm cloud before it fall, and in it Catch, ere she change, the Cynthia of this minute.
Alexander Pope
The dull flat falsehood serves for policy, and in the cunning, truth's itself a lie.
Alexander Pope
Wretches hang that jurymen may dine.
Alexander Pope
Conceit is to nature what paint is to beauty it is not only needless, but it impairs what it would improve.
Alexander Pope
The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd
Alexander Pope
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
A brave man thinks no one his superior who does him an injury, for he has it then in his power to make himself superior to the other by forgiving it.
Alexander Pope
Fair tresses man's imperial race ensnare And beauty draws us with a single hair.
Alexander Pope
Like following life through creatures you dissect, You lose it in the moment you detect.
Alexander Pope
With too much quickness ever to be taught With too much thinking to have common thought.
Alexander Pope
Th' unwilling gratitude of base mankind!
Alexander Pope
Whether with Reason, or with Instinct blest, Know, all enjoy that pow'r which suits them best.
Alexander Pope
Talk what you will of taste, my friend, you'll find two of a face as soon as of a mind.
Alexander Pope
Judge not of actions by their mere effect Dive to the center, and the cause detect. Great deeds from meanest springs may take their course, And smallest virtues from a mighty source.
Alexander Pope
The grave unites where e'en the great find rest, And blended lie th' oppressor and th' oppressed!
Alexander Pope
