More quotes by Alexander Pope
Age and want sit smiling at the gate.
Alexander Pope
On wrongs swift vengeance waits.
Alexander Pope
A God without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but fate and nature.
Alexander Pope
Lo, what huge heaps of littleness around!
Alexander Pope
A brave man struggling in the storms of fate, And greatly falling with a falling state.
Alexander Pope
Trade it may help, society extend, But lures the Pirate, ant corrupts the friend: It raises armies in a nation's aid, But bribes a senate, and the land's betray'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
Fine sense and exalted sense are not half so useful as common sense. There are forty men of wit for one man of sense and he that will carry nothing about him but gold, will be every day at a loss for want of readier change.
Alexander Pope
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
By music minds an equal temper know, Nor swell too high, nor sink too low. . . . . Warriors she fires with animated sounds. Pours balm into the bleeding lover's wounds.
Alexander Pope
The enormous faith of many made for one.
Alexander Pope
Mankind is unamendable.
Alexander Pope
It is very natural for a young friend and a young lover to think the persons they love have nothing to do but to please them.
Alexander Pope
I would not be like those Authors, who forgive themselves some particular lines for the sake of a whole Poem, and vice versa a whole Poem for the sake of some particular lines. I believe no one qualification is so likely to make a good writer, as the power of rejecting his own thoughts.
Alexander Pope
Why has not Man a microscopic eye? For this plain reason, Man is not a Fly. Say what the use, were finer optics giv'n, T' inspect a mite, not comprehend the heav'n.
Alexander Pope
There is a certain majesty in simplicity which is far above all the quaintness of wit.
Alexander Pope
A gen'rous heart repairs a sland'rous tongue.
Alexander Pope
You eat, in dreams, the custard of the day.
Alexander Pope
Reason, however able, cool at best, Cares not for service, or but serves when prest, Stays till we call, and then not often near.
Alexander Pope
Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame.
Alexander Pope
