Alexander Pope
Wine works the heart up, wakes the wit, There is no cure 'gainst age but it
Alexander Pope
At present we can only reason of the divine justice from what we know of justice in man. When we are in other scenes, we may have truer and nobler ideas of it but while we are in this life, we can only speak from the volume that is laid open before us.
Alexander Pope
They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake.
Alexander Pope
That each from other differs, first confess next that he varies from himself no less.
Alexander Pope
Order is heaven's first law.
