Image
Not grace, or zeal, love only was my call, And if I lose thy love, I lose my all.
Alexander Pope
Image
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Alexander Pope
Image
See skulking Truth to her old cavern fled, Mountains of Casuistry heap'd o'er her head! Philosophy, that lean'd on Heav'n before, Shrinks to her second cause, and is no more. Physic of Metaphysic begs defence, And Metaphysic calls for aid on Sense! See Mystery to Mathematics fly!
Alexander Pope
Image
Unthought-of Frailties cheat us in the Wise.
Alexander Pope
Image
Age and want sit smiling at the gate.
Alexander Pope
Image
Tis use alone that sanctifies expense And splendor borrow all her rays from sense.
Alexander Pope
Image
No writing is good that does not tend to better mankind in some way or other.
Alexander Pope
Image
To the Elysian shades dismiss my soul, where no carnation fades.
Alexander Pope
Image
Vices and virtues are of a strange nature, for the more we have, the fewer we think we have.
Alexander Pope
Image
All looks yellow to a jaundiced eye that habitually compares everything to something better. But by changing that habit to comparing everything to something worse, even making it a game, that person can find gratitude, relief and happiness where-ever they go and whatever they experience, guaranteed!
Alexander Pope
Image
What is it to be wise? 'Tis but to know how little can be known, To see all others' faults, and feel our own.
Alexander Pope
Image
How loved, how honored once, avails thee not, To whom related, or by whom begot A heap of dust alone remains of thee 'Tis all thou art, and all the proud shall be!
Alexander Pope
Image
Still follow sense, of ev'ry art the soul, Parts answering parts shall slide into a whole.
Alexander Pope
Image
Curse on all laws but those which love has made.
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
True friendship's laws are by this rule express'd, Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest.
Alexander Pope
Image
So upright Quakers please both man and God.
Alexander Pope
Image
As some to church repair, Not for the doctrine, but the music there. These equal syllables alone require, Though oft the ear the open vowels tire While expletives their feeble aid do join, And ten low words oft creep in one dull line.
Alexander Pope
Image
On cold December fragrant chaplets blow, And heavy harvests nod beneath the snow.
Alexander Pope
Image
Men must be taught as if you taught them not, and things unknown proposed as things forgot.
