A youth of frolic, an old age of cards.
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
Man never thinks himself happy, but when he enjoys those things which others want or desire.
Alexander Pope
Image
Yes, I am proud I must be proud to see Men not afraid of God, afraid of me.
Alexander Pope
