More quotes by 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
There still remains to mortify a wit The many-headed monster of the pit.
Alexander Pope
All other goods by fortune's hand are given, A wife is the peculiar gift of Heaven.
Alexander Pope
Nor in the critic let the man be lost.
Alexander Pope
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies, And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
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
When to mischief mortals bend their will, how soon they find it instruments of ill.
Alexander Pope
Is there no bright reversion in the sky, For those who greatly think or bravely die?
Alexander Pope
When I die, I should be ashamed to leave enough to build me a monument if there were a wanting friend above ground. I would enjoy the pleasure of what I give by giving it alive and seeing another enjoy it.
Alexander Pope
Thus unlamented pass the proud away, The gaze of fools and pageant of a day So perish all, whose breast ne'er learn'd to glow For others' good, or melt at others' woe.
Alexander Pope
Learning is like mercury, one of the most powerful and excellent things in the world in skillful hands in unskillful, the most mischievous.
Alexander Pope
Fine sense and exalted sense are not half so useful as common sense.
Alexander Pope
In faith and hope the world will disagree, but all mankind's concern is charity.
Alexander Pope
Charm strikes the sight, but merit wins the soul.
Alexander Pope
And soften'd sounds along the waters die: Smooth flow the waves, the zephyrs gently play.
Alexander Pope
To swear is neither brave, polite, nor wise.
Alexander Pope
Oh! if to dance all night, and dress all day, Charm'd the small-pox, or chas'd old age away . . . . To patch, nay ogle, might become a saint, Nor could it sure be such a sin to paint.
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
Heaven breathes thro' ev'ry member of the whole One common blessing, as one common soul.
Alexander Pope
Blest paper-credit! last and best supply! That lends corruption lighter wings to fly!
Alexander Pope
