The scripture in times of disputes is like an open town in times of war, which serves in differently the occasions of both parties.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

For lo! the board with cups and spoons is crowned.The berries crackle, and the mill turns round ... At once they gratify their scent and taste.And frequent cups prolong the rich repast... Coffee (which makes the politician wise And see through all things with his half-shut eyes).

There still remains to mortify a wit The many-headed monster of the pit.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Now warm in love, now with'ring in my bloom Lost in a convent's solitary gloom!

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

How loved, how honored once, ...

How loved, how honored once, avails thee not, To whom related, or by whom begot A heap of dust alone remains of thee 'Tis all thou art, and all the proud shall be!

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Awake, my St. John! leave all...

Awake, my St. John! leave all meaner things To low ambition and the pride of kings. Let us (since life can little more supply Than just to look about us, and to die) Expatiate free o'er all this scene of man; A mighty maze! but not without a plan.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

From Nature's chain whatever ...

From Nature's chain whatever link you strike, Tenth or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Here hills and vales, the woo...

Here hills and vales, the woodland and the plain Here earth and water seem to strive again, Not chaos-like together crushed and bruised, But, as the world, harmoniously confused: Where order in variety we see, And where, though all things differ, all agree.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Behold the child, by Nature's...

Behold the child, by Nature's kindly law, Pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw; Some livelier plaything gives his youth delight, A little louder, but as empty quite; Scarfs, garters, gold, amuse his riper stage, And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age. Pleased with this bauble still, as that before, Till tired he sleeps, and life's poor play is o'er.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Tis true, 'tis certain; man, ...

Tis true, 'tis certain; man, though dead, retains Part of himself; the immortal mind remains.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Let sinful bachelors their wo...

Let sinful bachelors their woes deplore; full well they merit all they feel, and more: unaw by precepts, human or divine, like birds and beasts, promiscuously they join.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Oh! be thou blest with all th...

Oh! be thou blest with all that Heaven can send, Long health, long youth, long pleasure-and a friend.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Let such teach others who the...

Let such teach others who themselves excel, And censure freely who have written well.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

The young disease, that must ...

The young disease, that must subdue at length, Grows with his growth, and strengthens with his strength.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Eye Nature's walks, shoot fol...

Eye Nature's walks, shoot folly as it flies, And catch the manners living as they rise; Laugh where we must, be candid where we can, But vindicate the ways of God to man.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Content if hence th' unlearn'...

Content if hence th' unlearn'd their wants may view, The learn'd reflect on what before they knew.

In lazy apathy let stoics boast, their virtue fixed, 'tis fixed as in a frost.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

What's fame? a fancy'd life in other's breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

O happiness! our being's end ...

O happiness! our being's end and aim!
Good, pleasure, ease, content! whate'er thy name:
That something still which prompts the eternal sigh,
For which we bear to live, or dare to die.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

In lazy apathy let stoics boa...

In lazy apathy let stoics boast, their virtue fix'd: 't is fix'd as in a frost; contracted all, retiring to the breast; but strength of mind is exercise, not rest.
