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.

But those who cannot write, and those who can, All rhyme, and scrawl, and scribble, to a man.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Therefore they who say our tho...

Therefore they who say our thoughts are not our own because they resemble the Ancients, may as well say our faces are not our own, because they are like our Fathers: And indeed it is very unreasonable, that people should expect us to be Scholars, and yet be angry to find us so.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Avoid Extremes; and shun the fault of such Who still are pleas'd too little or too much.

The race by vigour, not by vaunts, is won.

Sickness is a sort of early old age; it teaches us a diffidence in our earthly state.

Do you find yourself making excuses when you do not perform? Shed the excuses and face reality. Excuses are the loser's way out. They will mar your credibility and stunt your personal growth.

Nothing is more certain than much of the force; as well as grace, of arguments or instructions depends their conciseness.

From the moment one sets up for an author, one must be treated as ceremoniously, that is as unfaithfully, 'as a king's favorite or a king.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

The character of covetousness,...

The character of covetousness, is what a man generally acquires more through some niggardliness or ill grace in little and inconsiderable things, than in expenses of any consequence.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

The pure and noble, the graceful and dignified, simplicity of language is nowhere in such perfection as in the Scriptures and Homer. The whole book of Job, with regard both to sublimity of thought and morality, exceeds, beyond all comparison, the most noble parts of Homer.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

The cabinets of the sick and the closets of the dead have been ransacked to publish private letters and divulge to all mankind the most secret sentiments of friendship.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

There never was any party, faction, sect, or cabal whatsoever, in which the most ignorant were not the most violent; for a bee is not a busier animal than a blockhead.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

There is but one way I know of conversing safely with all men; that is, not by concealing what we say or do, but by saying or doing nothing that deserves to be concealed.

The villain's censure is extorted praise.
