Let Joy or Ease, let Affluence or Content, And the gay Conscience of a life well spent, Calm ev'ry thought, inspirit ev'ry grace, Glow in thy heart, and smile upon thy face.
Alexander Pope

More quotes by Alexander Pope
Say first, of god above or man below what can we reason but from what we know.
Alexander Pope
So modern 'pothecaries, taught the art By doctor's bills to play the doctor's part, Bold in the practice of mistaken rules, Prescribe, apply, and call their masters fools.
Alexander Pope
Learn to live well, or fairly make your will You've play'd, and lov'd, and ate, and drank your fill: Walk sober off, before a sprightlier age Comes titt'ring on, and shoves you from the stage.
Alexander Pope
I am satisfied to trifle away my time, rather than let it stick by me.
Alexander Pope
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Alexander Pope
From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part, And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art.
Alexander Pope
Honor and shame from no condition rise. Act well your part: there all the honor lies.
Alexander Pope
Sickness is a sort of early old age it teaches us a diffidence in our earthly state.
Alexander Pope
Let such teach others who themselves excel, And censure freely who have written well.
Alexander Pope
Virtue alone is happiness below.

Superstition is the spleen of the soul.
Alexander Pope
Thou wert my guide, philosopher, and friend.
Alexander Pope
Ask you what provocation I have had? The strong antipathy of good to bad.
Alexander Pope
The pure and noble, the graceful and dignified, simplicity of language is nowhere in such perfection as in the Scriptures and Homer. The whole book of Job, with regard both to sublimity of thought and morality, exceeds, beyond all comparison, the most noble parts of Homer.
Alexander Pope
The Right Divine of Kings to govern wrong.
Alexander Pope
Good God! how often are we to die before we go quite off this stage? In every friend we lose a part of ourselves, and the best part.
Alexander Pope
chaos of thought and passion, all confus'd.
Alexander Pope
Vast chain of being! which from God began, Natures ethereal, human, angel, man, Beast, bird, fish, insect, what no eye can see, No glass can reach, from infinite to Thee, From Thee to nothing.
Alexander Pope
The hungry judges soon the sentence sign, and wretches hang that jurymen may dine.
Alexander Pope
Some praise at morning what they blame at night, but always think the last opinion right.
Alexander Pope
