Who taught that heaven-directed spire to rise?
Alexander Pope
Image
Th' unwilling gratitude of base mankind!
Alexander Pope
Image
Every man has just as much vanity as he wants understanding.
Alexander Pope
Image
Some to conceit alone their taste confine, And glittering thoughts struck out at ev'ry line Pleas'd with a work where nothing's just or fit One glaring chaos and wild heap of wit.
Alexander Pope
Image
The man that loves and laughs must sure do well.
Alexander Pope
Image
Music the fiercest grief can charm, And fate's severest rage disarm. Music can soften pain to ease, And make despair and madness please Our joys below it can improve, And antedate the bliss above.
Alexander Pope
Image
Live like yourself, was soon my lady's word, And lo! two puddings smok'd upon the board.
Alexander Pope
Image
Pleas'd look forward, pleas'd to look behind,And count each birthday with a grateful mind.
Alexander Pope

Image
Charm strikes the sight, but merit wins the soul.
Alexander Pope
Image
Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish or a sparrow fall, Atoms or systems into ruin hurl'd, And now a bubble burst, and now a world.
Alexander Pope
Image
Offend her, and she knows not to forgive Oblige her, and she'll hate you while you live.
Alexander Pope
Image
Fly, dotard, fly! With thy wise dreams and fables of the sky.
Alexander Pope
Image
Horses (thou say'st) and asses men may try, And ring suspected vessels ere they buy But wives, a random choice, untried they take They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake Then, nor till then, the veil's removed away, And all the woman glares in open day.
Alexander Pope
Image
Every woman is at heart a rake.
Alexander Pope
Image
Happy the man whose wish and care a few paternal acres bound, content to breathe his native air in his own ground.
Alexander Pope
Image
A mighty maze! But not without a plan.
Alexander Pope
Image
Search then the ruling passion there alone, The wild are constant, and the cunning known The fool consistent, and the false sincere Priests, princes, women, no dissemblers here.
Alexander Pope
Image
O Love! for Sylvia let me gain the prize, And make my tongue victorious as her eyes.
Alexander Pope
Image
Hope travels through, nor quits us when we die.
Alexander Pope
