More quotes by Alexander Pope
The spider's touch, how exquisitely fine! Feels at each thread, and lives along the line.
Alexander Pope
Fear not the anger of the wise to raise Those best can bear reproof who merit praise.
Alexander Pope
Chaos of thought and passion, all confused Still by himself abused or disabused Created half to rise, and half to fall Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled,- The glory, jest, and riddle of the world.
Alexander Pope
And seem to walk on wings, and tread in air.
Alexander Pope
True Wit is Nature to advantage dress'd What oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd Something whose truth convinced at sight we find, That gives us back the image of our mind. As shades more sweetly recommend the light, So modest plainness sets off sprightly wit.
Alexander Pope
The hungry judges soon the sentence sign, and wretches hang that jurymen may dine.
Alexander Pope
In the nice bee, what sense so subtly true From pois'nous herbs extracts the healing dew?
Alexander Pope
The zeal of fools offends at any time.
Alexander Pope
When we are young, we are slavishly employed in procuring something whereby we may live comfortably when we grow old and when we are old, we perceive it is too late to live as we proposed.
Alexander Pope
Bear, like the Turk, no brother near the throne.
Alexander Pope
In pride, in reas'ning pride, our error lies All quit their sphere and rush into the skies. Pride still is aiming at the bless'd abodes, Men would be angels, angels would be gods.
Alexander Pope
Love finds an altar for forbidden fires.
Alexander Pope
And all who told it added something new, and all who heard it, made enlargements too.
Alexander Pope
Oh! if to dance all night, and dress all day, Charm'd the small-pox, or chas'd old age away . . . . To patch, nay ogle, might become a saint, Nor could it sure be such a sin to paint.
Alexander Pope
As some to Church repair, not for the doctrine, but the music there.
Alexander Pope
Wise wretch! with pleasures too refined to please, With too much spirit to be e'er at ease, With too much quickness ever to be taught, With too much thinking to have common thought: You purchase pain with all that joy can give, And die of nothing but a rage to live.
Alexander Pope
Sometimes virtue starves while vice is fed.
Alexander Pope
Content if hence th' unlearn'd their wants may view, The learn'd reflect on what before they knew.
Alexander Pope
There should be, methinks, as little merit in loving a woman for her beauty as in loving a man for his prosperity both being equally subject to change.
Alexander Pope
Monuments, like men, submit to fate.
Alexander Pope
