More quotes by Alexander Pope
Never elated while one man's oppress'd Never dejected while another's blessed.
Alexander Pope
To be, contents his natural desire, He asks no angel's wing, no seraph's fire But thinks, admitted to that equal sky, His faithful dog shall bear him company. Go wiser thou! and in thy scale of sense Weigh thy opinion against Providence.
Alexander Pope
For I, who hold sage Homer's rule the best, Welcome the coming, speed the going guest.

Whoe'er he be That tells my faults, I hate him mortally.
Alexander Pope
We ought, in humanity, no more to despise a man for the misfortunes of the mind than for those of the body, when they are such as he cannot help were this thoroughly considered we should no more laugh at a man for having his brains cracked than for having his head broke.
Alexander Pope
Mankind is unamendable.
Alexander Pope
There is no study that is not capable of delighting us after a little application to it.
Alexander Pope
Amusement is the happiness of those who cannot think.
Alexander Pope
