All other goods by Fortune's hands are given; A wife is the peculiar gift of heaven.

The finest minds, like the finest metals, dissolve the easiest.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

That character in conversation...

That character in conversation which commonly passes for agreeable is made up of civility and falsehood.

The good must merit God's peculiar care; But who but God can tell us who they are?

A good-natured man has the whole world to be happy out of.

In the nice bee, what sense so subtly true
From pois'nous herbs extracts the healing dew?

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Soft is the strain when zephyr...

Soft is the strain when zephyr gently blows, And the smooth stream in smoother numbers flows; But when loud surges lash the sounding shore, The hoarse rough verse should like the torrent roar. When Ajax strives some rock's vast weight to throw, The line too labours, and the words move slow: Not so when swift Camilla scours the plain, Flies o'er th' unbending corn, and skims along the main.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Some are bewildered in the maz...

Some are bewildered in the maze of schools, And some made coxcombs nature meant but fools.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Yet graceful ease, and sweetness void of pride, Might hide her faults, if belles had faults to hide: If to her share some female errors fall, Look on her face, and you'll forget 'em all.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

I as little fear that God will...

I as little fear that God will damn a person who has charity as I hope that the priests can save one who has not.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

That, chang'd thro' all and yet in all the same, Great in the Earth as in th' Г†therial frame, Warms in the Sun, refreshes in the Breeze, Glows in the Stars, and blossoms in the Trees... Breathes in our soul, informs our mortal part... Submit Ђ' in this, or any other Sphere, Secure to be as blest as thou canst bear. All Nature is but Art, unknown to thee; All Chance, Direction which thou canst not see; All Discord, Harmony not understood... All partial Evil, universal Good...

We may see the small value God has for riches, by the people he gives them to.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

[T]hroВ' this Air, this Ocean,...

[T]hroВ' this Air, this Ocean, and this Earth, All Nature quick, and bursting into birth. Above, how high progressive life may go? Around how wide? how deep extend below? Vast Chain of Being! which from God began, Ethereal Essence, Spirit, Substance, Man, Beast, Bird, Fish, Insect! what no Eye can see, No Glass can reach! from Infinite to Thee! From Thee to Nothing.... From NatureВ's Chain whatever Link you strike, Tenth, or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike.... All are but parts of one stupendous Whole: Whose Bod

Love finds an altar for forbidden fires.

Order is Heaven's first law; a...

Order is Heaven's first law; and this confessed, some are, and must be, greater than the rest, more rich, more wise; but who infers from hence that such are happier, shocks all common sense. Condition, circumstance, is not the thing; bliss is the same in subject or in king.
