No craving void left aching in the soul.
Alexander Pope
Image
The same ambition can destroy or save, and make a patriot as it makes a knave.
Alexander Pope
Image
A patriot is a fool in ev'ry age.
Alexander Pope
Image
Wit in conversation is only a readiness of thought and a facility of expression, or a quick conception and an easy delivery.
Alexander Pope
Image
For lo! the board with cups and spoons is crowned.The berries crackle, and the mill turns round ... At once they gratify their scent and taste.And frequent cups prolong the rich repast... Coffee (which makes the politician wise And see through all things with his half-shut eyes).
Alexander Pope
Image
Heaven forming each on other to depend, A master, or a servant, or a friend, Bids each on other for assistance call, Till one man's weakness grows the strength of all.
Alexander Pope
Image
Whoe'er he be That tells my faults, I hate him mortally.
Alexander Pope
Image
Poets like painters, thus unskilled to trace The naked nature and the living grace, With gold and jewels cover ev'ry part, And hide with ornaments their want of art. True wit is Nature to advantage dressed, What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed.
Alexander Pope
Image
Two purposes in human nature rule. Self- love to urge, and reason to restrain.
Alexander Pope
Image
Health consists with temperance alone.
Alexander Pope

Light quirks of music, broken and uneven,Make the soul dance upon a jig to Heav'n.
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
Lo! The poor Indian, whose untutored mind sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind.
Alexander Pope
Image
See plastic Nature working to this end, The single atoms each to other tend, Attract, attracted to, the next in place Form'd and impell'd its neighbor to embrace.
Alexander Pope
Image
The flower's are gone when the Fruits appear to ripen.
Alexander Pope
Image
Love, Hope, and Joy, fair pleasure's smiling train, Hate, Fear, and Grief, the family of pain, These mix'd with art, and to due bounds confin'd Make and maintain the balance of the mind.
Alexander Pope
Image
We may see the small value God has for riches, by the people he gives them to.
Alexander Pope
Image
Sickness is a sort of early old age it teaches us a diffidence in our earthly state.
Alexander Pope
Image
A perfect judge will read each word of wit with the same spirit that its author writ.
Alexander Pope
Image
There are some solitary wretches who seem to have left the rest of mankind, only, as Eve left Adam, to meet the devil in private.
