More quotes by Alexander Pope
True friendship's laws are by this rule express'd, Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest.
Alexander Pope
Soft is the strain when zephyr gently blows.
Alexander Pope
When rumours increase, and when there is an abundance of noise and clamour, believe the second report.
Alexander Pope
The scripture in times of disputes is like an open town in times of war, which serves in differently the occasions of both parties.
Alexander Pope
The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come.
Alexander Pope
All chance, direction, which thou canst not see
Alexander Pope
Fool, 'tis in vain from wit to wit to roam: Know, sense, like charity, begins at home.
Alexander Pope
Vast chain of being! which from God began, Natures ethereal, human, angel, man, Beast, bird, fish, insect, what no eye can see, No glass can reach, from infinite to Thee, From Thee to nothing.
Alexander Pope
Fine sense and exalted sense are not half so useful as common sense. There are forty men of wit for one man of sense and he that will carry nothing about him but gold, will be every day at a loss for want of readier change.
Alexander Pope
Speed the soft intercourse from soul to soul, And waft a sigh from Indus to the Pole.
Alexander Pope
And soften'd sounds along the waters die: Smooth flow the waves, the zephyrs gently play.
Alexander Pope
Be niggards of advice on no pretense For the worst avarice is that of sense.
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
In lazy apathy let stoics boast, their virtue fix'd: 't is fix'd as in a frost contracted all, retiring to the breast but strength of mind is exercise, not rest.
Alexander Pope
Monuments, like men, submit to fate.
Alexander Pope
Art still followed where Rome's eagles flew.
Alexander Pope
Dogs, ye have had your day!
Alexander Pope
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
A brave man thinks no one his superior who does him an injury, for he has it then in his power to make himself superior to the other by forgiving it.
Alexander Pope
Good God! how often are we to die before we go quite off this stage? In every friend we lose a part of ourselves, and the best part.
Alexander Pope
