Some place the bliss in action...

Some place the bliss in action, some in ease,
Those call it pleasure, and contentment these.

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.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Good-humor only teaches charms...

Good-humor only teaches charms to last,
Still makes new conquests and maintains the past.

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

The bookful blockhead ignorant...

The bookful blockhead ignorantly read, With loads of learned lumber in his head, With his own tongue still edifies his ears, And always list'ning to himself appears. All books he reads, and all he reads assails.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Content if hence th' unlearn'd...

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

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

chaos of thought and passion, ...

chaos of thought and passion, all confus'd.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Let opening roses knotted oaks...

Let opening roses knotted oaks adorn, And liquid amber drop from every thorn.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

In every work regard the write...

In every work regard the writer's end, Since none can compass more than they intend.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

To dazzle let the vain design,...

To dazzle let the vain design, To raise the thought and touch the heart, be thine!

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

The soul, uneasy and confin'd ...

The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Beauty that shocks you, parts ...

Beauty that shocks you, parts that none will trust, Wit that can creep, and pride that licks the dust.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

If faith itself has different ...

If faith itself has different dresses worn, What wonder modes in wit should take their turn?

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Love, Hope, and Joy, fair plea...

Love, Hope, and Joy, fair pleasure's smiling train, Hate, Fear, and Grief, the family of pain, These mix'd with art, and to due bounds confin'd Make and maintain the balance of the mind.

In adamantine chains shall Death be bound, And Hell's grim tyrant feel th' eternal wound.
