More quotes by Alexander Pope

Image
Of little use, the man you may suppose, Who says in verse what others say in prose Yet let me show a poet's of some weight, And (though no soldier) useful to the state, What will a child learn sooner than a song? What better teach a foreigner the tongue? What's long or short, each accent where to place And speak in public with some sort of grace?
Alexander Pope
Image
The greatest magnifying glasses in the world are a man's own eyes when they look upon his own person.
Alexander Pope
Image
And not a vanity is given in vain.
Alexander Pope
Image
The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed today, Had he thy reason, would he skip and play? Pleas'd to the last he crops the flow'ry food, And licks the hand just rais'd to shed his blood.
Alexander Pope
Image
Cavil you may, but never criticise.
Alexander Pope
Image
Whether the darken'd room to muse invite, Or whiten'd wall provoke the skew'r to write In durance, exile, Bedlam, or the Mint, Like Lee or Budgel I will rhyme and print.
Alexander Pope
Image
But blind to former as to future fate, what mortal knows his pre-existent state?
Alexander Pope
Image
Those move easiest who have learn'd to dance.
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
Image
Physicians are in general the most amiable companions and the best friends, as well as the most learned men I know.
Alexander Pope
Image
The villain's censure is extorted praise.
Alexander Pope
Image
Know then this truth, enough for man to know virtue alone is happiness below.
Alexander Pope
Image
Nay, fly to altars there they'll talk you dead For fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Alexander Pope
Image
The hungry judges soon the sentence sign, and wretches hang that jurymen may dine.
Alexander Pope
Image
Love the offender, yet detest the offense.
Alexander Pope
Image
That each from other differs, first confess next that he varies from himself no less.
Alexander Pope
Image
Trade it may help, society extend, But lures the Pirate, ant corrupts the friend: It raises armies in a nation's aid, But bribes a senate, and the land's betray'd.
Alexander Pope
Image
A God without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but fate and nature.
Alexander Pope
Image
Hope travels through, nor quits us when we die.
Alexander Pope
Image
Fortune in men has some small diff'rence made, One flaunts in rags, one flutters in brocade, The cobbler apron'd, and the parson gown'd, The friar hooded, and the monarch crown'd.
