Alexander Pope
Some praise at morning what they blame at night, but always think the last opinion right.
Alexander Pope
Court-virtues bear, like gems, the highest rate, Born where Heav'n influence scarce can penetrate. In life's low vale, the soil the virtues like, They please as beauties, here as wonders strike.
Alexander Pope
One self-approving hour whole years outweighs.
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
What then remains, but well our power to use, And keep good-humor still whate'er we lose? And trust me, dear, good-humor can prevail, When airs, and flights, and screams, and scolding fail.
Alexander Pope
So perish all who do the like again.
Alexander Pope
Blest paper-credit! last and best supply! That lends corruption lighter wings to fly!

Nature made every fop to plague his brother, Just as one beauty mortifies another.
Alexander Pope
Genius creates, and taste preserves.
Alexander Pope
The proper study of Mankind is Man.
Alexander Pope
To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.
Alexander Pope
Speed the soft intercourse from soul to soul, And waft a sigh from Indus to the Pole.
Alexander Pope
From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part, And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art.
Alexander Pope
