Alexander Pope Quotes
1
Love, free as air at sight of human ties, Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies.



Thee too, my Paridel! she mark'd thee there, Stretch'd on the rack of a too easy chair, And heard thy everlasting yarn confess The Pains and Penalties of Idleness.



How glowing guilt exalts the keen delight!



Envy will merit as its shade pursue, But like a shadow, proves the substance true.



Vices and virtues are of a strange nature, for the more we have, the fewer we think we have



Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread.



Many men have been capable of doing a wise thing, more a cunning thing, but very few a generous thing



There is a certain majesty in simplicity which is far above all the quaintness of wit.



At every word a reputation dies.



Words are like leaves, and where they most abound, Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found



There Affectation, with a sickly mien, Shows in her cheek the roses of eighteen



A wit with dunces, and a dunce with wits.



All are but parts of one stupendous whole whose body Nature is, and God the soul.



To endeavor to work upon the vulgar with fine sense is like attempting to hew blocks with a razor.



From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part, And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art.
