Where London's column, pointi...

Where London's column, pointing at the skies, Like a tall bully, lifts the head, and lies.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

False happiness is like false...

False happiness is like false money; it passes for a time as well as the true, and serves some ordinary occasions; but when it is brought to the touch, we find the lightness and alloy, and feel the loss.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Statesman, yet friend to trut...

Statesman, yet friend to truth! of soul sincere, In action faithful, and in honour clear; Who broke no promise, serv'd no private end, Who gain'd no title, and who lost no friend.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

What is fame? a fancied life ...

What is fame? a fancied life in others' breath.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

In pride, in reas'ning pride,...

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 1116 quotes

Chaos of thought and passion,...

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 1116 quotes

It is very natural for a young friend and a young lover to think the persons they love have nothing to do but to please them.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

But thousands die without or ...

But thousands die without or this or that, Die, and endow a college or a cat.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

No, make me mistress to the man I love; If there be yet another name more free More fond than mistress, make me that to thee!

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

But to the world no bugbear i...

But to the world no bugbear is so great, As want of figure and a small estate.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Truth shines the brighter, clad in verse.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Chaste to her husband, frank to all beside, A teeming mistress, but a barren bride.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Learn to live well, or fairly make your will;
You've play'd, and lov'd, and ate, and drank your fill:
Walk sober off, before a sprightlier age
Comes titt'ring on, and shoves you from the stage.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

So modern 'pothecaries, taugh...

So modern 'pothecaries, taught the art By doctor's bills to play the doctor's part, Bold in the practice of mistaken rules, Prescribe, apply, and call their masters fools.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Some men's wit is like a dark...

Some men's wit is like a dark lantern, which serves their own turn and guides them their own way, but is never known (according to the Scripture phrase) either to shine forth before men, or to glorify their Father in heaven.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Some have at first for wits, ...

Some have at first for wits, then poets passed, Turned critics next, and proved plain fools at last.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Thus let me live, unseen, unk...

Thus let me live, unseen, unknown, Thus unlamented let me die, Steal from the world, and not a stone Tell where I lie.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Some to conceit alone their t...

Some to conceit alone their taste confine, And glittering thoughts struck out at ev'ry line; Pleas'd with a work where nothing's just or fit; One glaring chaos and wild heap of wit.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

But see, the shepherds shun t...

But see, the shepherds shun the noonday heat,
The lowing herds to murmuring brooks retreat,
To closer shades the panting flocks remove;
Ye gods! And is there no relief for love?

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

No louder shrieks to pitying ...

No louder shrieks to pitying heaven are cast, When husbands or lap-dogs breathe their last.
