More quotes by Alexander Pope
I as little fear that God will damn a man that has charity, as I hope that the priests can save one who has not.
Alexander Pope
But see how oft ambition's aims are cross'd, and chiefs contend 'til all the prize is lost!
Alexander Pope
A disputant no more cares for the truth than the sportsman for the hare.
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
But touch me, and no minister so sore. Whoe'er offends, at some unlucky time Slides into verse, and hitches in a rhyme, Sacred to ridicule his whole life long, And the sad burthen of some merry song.
Alexander Pope
Those oft are stratagems which errors seem Nor is it Homer nods, but we that dream.

Alexander Pope
No silver saints, by dying misers giv'n, Here brib'd the rage of ill-requited heav'n But such plain roofs as Piety could raise, And only vocal with the Maker's praise.
Alexander Pope
For he lives twice who can at once employ, The present well, and e'en the past enjoy.
Alexander Pope
Men, some to business, some to pleasure take But every woman is at heart a rake.
Alexander Pope
Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
Alexander Pope
To happy convents, bosomed deep in vines, Where slumber abbots, purple as their wines.
Alexander Pope
The young disease, that must subdue at length, Grows with his growth, and strengthens with his strength.
Alexander Pope
Cursed be the verse, how well so e'er it flow, That tends to make one worthy man my foe.
Alexander Pope
