To Him no high, no low, no great, no small;
He fills, He bounds, connects and equals all!

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Fortune in men has some small ...

Fortune in men has some small diff'rence made,
One flaunts in rags, one flutters in brocade,
The cobbler apron'd, and the parson gown'd,
The friar hooded, and the monarch crown'd.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Fickle Fortune reigns, and, un...

Fickle Fortune reigns, and, undiscerning, scatters crowns and chains.

To pardon those absurdities in ourselves which we cannot suffer in others is neither better nor worse than to be more willing to be fools ourselves than to have others so.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

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

Oft in dreams invention we bestow to change a flounce or add a furbelow.

A saint in crape is twice a saint in lawn.

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

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

So man, who here seems principal alone, Perhaps acts second to some sphere unknown Touches some wheel, or verges to some goal; 'Tis but a part we see, and not a whole.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

No more was seen the human form divine.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

When to mischief mortals bend ...

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

Tis strange the miser should his cares employTo gain those riches he can ne'er enjoy;Is it less strange the prodigal should wasteHis wealth to purchase what he ne'er can taste?

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

He knows to live who keeps the middle state, and neither leans on this side nor on that.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

In a sadly pleasing strain, let the warbling lute complain.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

As some to Church repair, not ...

As some to Church repair, not for the doctrine, but the music there.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Vast chain of being! which fro...

Vast chain of being! which from God began, Natures ethereal, human, angel, man, Beast, bird, fish, insect, what no eye can see, No glass can reach, from infinite to Thee, From Thee to nothing.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

See plastic Nature working to this end, The single atoms each to other tend, Attract, attracted to, the next in place Form'd and impell'd its neighbor to embrace.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

I think a good deal may be said to extenuate the fault of bad Poets. What we call a Genius, is hard to be distinguish'd by a man himself, from a strong inclination: and if his genius be ever so great, he can not at first discover it any other way, than by giving way to that prevalent propensity which renders him the more liable to be mistaken.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

The people's voice is odd, It ...

The people's voice is odd, It is, and it is not, the voice of God.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

There various news I heard of ...

There various news I heard of love and strife,Of peace and war, health, sickness, death, and life,Of loss and gain, of famine and of store,Of storms at sea, and travels on the shore,Of prodigies, and portents seen in air,Of fires and plagues, and stars with blazing hair,Of turns of fortune, changes in the state,The fall of favourites, projects of the great,Of aid mismanagements, taxations new:All neither wholly false, nor wholly true.
