More quotes by Alexander Pope
This long disease, my life.
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
Learn from the birds what food the thickets yield Learn from the beasts the physic of the field The arts of building from the bee receive Learn of the mole to plow, the worm to weave.
Alexander Pope
Our passions are like convulsion fits, which, though they make us stronger for a time, leave us the weaker ever after.
Alexander Pope
To wake the soul by tender strokes of art, To raise the genius, and to mend the heart
Alexander Pope
Those oft are stratagems which errors seem Nor is it Homer nods, but we that dream.
Alexander Pope
Count all th' advantage prosperous Vice attains, 'Tis but what Virtue flies from and disdains: And grant the bad what happiness they would, One they must want--which is, to pass for good.
Alexander Pope
The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed today, Had he thy reason, would he skip and play? Pleas'd to the last he crops the flow'ry food, And licks the hand just rais'd to shed his blood.
Alexander Pope
Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined.
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
The time shall come, when, free as seas or wind, Unbounded Thames shall flow for all mankind, Whole nations enter with each swelling tide, And seas but join the regions they divide Earth's distant ends our glory shall behold, And the new world launch forth to seek the old.
Alexander Pope
Now warm in love, now with'ring in my bloom Lost in a convent's solitary gloom!
Alexander Pope
Whoe'er he be That tells my faults, I hate him mortally.
Alexander Pope
The proper study of Mankind is Man.
Alexander Pope
Soft is the strain when zephyr gently blows.
Alexander Pope
The Right Divine of Kings to govern wrong.
Alexander Pope
Tis true, 'tis certain man, though dead, retains Part of himself the immortal mind remains.
Alexander Pope
No, make me mistress to the man I love If there be yet another name more free More fond than mistress, make me that to thee!
Alexander Pope
Virtuous and vicious every man must be, few in the extreme, but all in the degree.
Alexander Pope
Search then the ruling passion: This clue, once found, unravels all the rest.
Alexander Pope
