What so pure, which envious t...

What so pure, which envious tongues will spare? Some wicked wits have libell'd all the fair, With matchless impudence they style a wife, The dear-bought curse, and lawful plague of life; A bosom serpent, a domestic evil, A night invasion, and a mid-day devil; Let not the wise these sland'rous words regard, But curse the bones of ev'ry living bard.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

A gen'rous heart repairs a sland'rous tongue.

Whate'er the passion, knowledge, fame, or pelf, Not one will change his neighbor with himself.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed today, Had he thy reason, would he skip and play? Pleas'd to the last he crops the flow'ry food, And licks the hand just rais'd to shed his blood.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

When to mischief mortals bend their will, how soon they find it instruments of ill.

Music the fiercest grief can charm, And fate's severest rage disarm. Music can soften pain to ease, And make despair and madness please; Our joys below it can improve, And antedate the bliss above.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

A perfect Judge will read each work of Wit With the same spirit that its author writ: Survey the Whole, nor seek slight faults to find Where nature moves, and rapture warms the mind.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Careless of censure, nor too ...

Careless of censure, nor too fond of fame, Still pleased to praise, yet not afraid to blame, Averse alike to flatter or offend, Not free from faults, nor yet too vain to mend.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

For forms of faith let graceless zealots fight; his can't be wrong whose life is in the right.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Presumptuous Man! the reason ...

Presumptuous Man! the reason wouldst thou find,Why form'd so weak, so little, and so blind?First, if thou canst, the harder reason guess,Why form'd no weaker, blinder, and no less!Ask of thy mother earth, why oaks are madeTaller or stronger than the weeds they shade?Or ask of yonder argent fields above,Why Jove's Satellites are less than Jove?

Every man has just as much vanity as he wants understanding.

For when success a lover's toil attends,Few ask, if fraud or force attain'd his ends

Death, only death, can break the lasting chain; And here, ev'n then, shall my cold dust remain

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

There never was any party, faction, sect, or cabal whatsoever, in which the most ignorant were not the most violent; for a bee is not a busier animal than a blockhead.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Old politicians chew on wisdom past, And totter on in business to the last.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Though triumphs were to generals only due, crowns were reserved to grace the soldiers too.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

True Wit is Nature to advanta...

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 1116 quotes

Our grandsire, Adam, ere of E...

Our grandsire, Adam, ere of Eve possesst, Alone, and e'en in Paradise unblest, With mournful looks the blissful scenes survey'd, And wander'd in the solitary shade. The Maker say, took pity, and bestow'd Woman, the last, the best reserv'd of God.
