T is true,t is certain; man though dead retains, Part of himself: the immortal mind remains.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Still follow sense, of ev'ry art the soul, Parts answering parts shall slide into a whole.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Poets like painters, thus unsk...

Poets like painters, thus unskilled to trace The naked nature and the living grace, With gold and jewels cover ev'ry part, And hide with ornaments their want of art. True wit is Nature to advantage dressed, What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

For wit and judgment often are...

For wit and judgment often are at strife, Though meant each other's aid, like man and wife.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Oh, when shall Britain, consci...

Oh, when shall Britain, conscious of her claim, Stand emulous of Greek and Roman fame? In living medals see her wars enroll'd, And vanquished realms supply recording gold?

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Who ne'er knew joy but friends...

Who ne'er knew joy but friendship might divide,Or gave his father grief but when he died.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Whether the darken'd room to m...

Whether the darken'd room to muse invite, Or whiten'd wall provoke the skew'r to write; In durance, exile, Bedlam, or the Mint, Like Lee or Budgel I will rhyme and print.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

So upright Quakers please both...

So upright Quakers please both man and God.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Pleasures are ever in our hand...

Pleasures are ever in our hands or eyes;
And when in act they cease, in prospect rise.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Then from the Mint walks forth...

Then from the Mint walks forth the man of rhyme,
Happy to catch me, just at dinner-time.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Dulness! whose good old cause ...

Dulness! whose good old cause I yet defend,
With whom my muse began, with who shall end.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

The most positive men are the ...

The most positive men are the most credulous, since they most believe themselves, and advise most with their falsest flatterer and worst enemy--their own self-love.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Ask for what end the heavenly ...

Ask for what end the heavenly bodies shine,
Earth for whose use? Pride answers, 'Tis for mine
For me kind nature wakes her genial power,
Suckles each herb, and spreads out every flower.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Pride, where wit fails, steps ...

Pride, where wit fails, steps in to our defence, and fills up all the mighty void of sense.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Thus unlamented pass the proud...

Thus unlamented pass the proud away,
The gaze of fools and pageant of a day;
So perish all, whose breast ne'er learn'd to glow
For others' good, or melt at others' woe.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

To swear is neither brave, pol...

To swear is neither brave, polite, nor wise.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

All nature mourns, the skies r...

All nature mourns, the skies relent in showers; hushed are the birds, and closed the drooping flowers.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

There is nothing wanting to ma...

There is nothing wanting to make all rational and disinterested people in the world of one religion, but that they should talk together every day.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

What then remains, but well ou...

What then remains, but well our power to use,
And keep good-humor still whate'er we lose?
And trust me, dear, good-humor can prevail,
When airs, and flights, and screams, and scolding fail.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

When I die, I should be ashame...

When I die, I should be ashamed to leave enough to build me a monument if there were a wanting friend above ground. I would enjoy the pleasure of what I give by giving it alive and seeing another enjoy it.
