More quotes by Alexander Pope

So perish all who do the like again.
Alexander Pope
But Satan now is wiser than of yore, and tempts by making rich, not making poor.
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
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

Alexander Pope
Genius involves both envy and calumny.
Alexander Pope
All looks yellow to a jaundiced eye.
Alexander Pope
Lo, what huge heaps of littleness around!
Alexander Pope
Let fortune do her worst, whatever she makes us lose, so long as she never makes us lose our honesty and our independence.

Consult the Genius of the Place in all.
Alexander Pope
