More quotes by Alexander Pope
Devotion's self shall steal a thought from heaven.
Alexander Pope
True Wit is Nature to advantage dress'd What oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd Something whose truth convinced at sight we find, That gives us back the image of our mind. As shades more sweetly recommend the light, So modest plainness sets off sprightly wit.
Alexander Pope
Leave not a foot of verse, a foot of stone, A Page, a Grave, that they can call their own But spread, my sons, your glory thin or thick, On passive paper, or on solid brick.
Alexander Pope
But see, the shepherds shun the noonday heat, The lowing herds to murmuring brooks retreat, To closer shades the panting flocks remove Ye gods! And is there no relief for love?
Alexander Pope
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
Expression is the dress of thought.
Alexander Pope
The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.
Alexander Pope
Tis thus the mercury of man is fix'd, Strong grows the virtue with his nature mix'd.
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
Fool, 'tis in vain from wit to wit to roam: Know, sense, like charity, begins at home.
Alexander Pope
And make each day a critic on the last.
Alexander Pope
There are certain times when most people are in a disposition of being informed, and 'tis incredible what a vast good a little truth might do, spoken in such seasons.
Alexander Pope
Heav'n first taught letters for some wretch's aid, Some banish'd lover, or some captive maid.
Alexander Pope
All looks yellow to a jaundiced eye that habitually compares everything to something better. But by changing that habit to comparing everything to something worse, even making it a game, that person can find gratitude, relief and happiness where-ever they go and whatever they experience, guaranteed!
Alexander Pope
Who finds not Providence all good and wise, Alike in what it gives, and what denies.
Alexander Pope
The enormous faith of many made for one.
Alexander Pope
And little eagles wave their wings in gold.
Alexander Pope
Extremes in nature equal ends produce In man they join to some mysterious use.
Alexander Pope
There is a majesty in simplicity.
Alexander Pope
Who builds a church to God and not to fame, Will never mark the marble with his name.
Alexander Pope
