Of all affliction taught a lover yet,
'Tis true the hardest science to forget.

That virtue only makes our bliss below,
And all our knowledge is ourselves to know.

Pleas'd look forward, pleas'd to look behind,And count each birthday with a grateful mind.

But honest instinct comes a volunteer; Sure never to o'er-shoot, but just to hit, While still too wide or short in human wit.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Our rural ancestors, with little blest, Patient of labor when the end was rest, Indulged the day that housed their annual grain, With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

She who ne'er answers till a husband cools, Or, if she rules him, never shows she rules; Charms by accepting, by submitting, sways, Yet has her humor most, when she obeys.

Fly, dotard, fly! With thy wise dreams and fables of the sky.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Who combats bravely is not therefore brave, He dreads a death-bed like the meanest slave: Who reasons wisely is not therefore wise,- His pride in reasoning, not in acting lies.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

See! From the brake the whirring pheasant springs, And mounts exulting on triumphant wings; Short is his joy! He feels the fiery wound, Flutters in blood, and panting beats the ground.

Those oft are stratagems which errors seem Nor is it Homer nods, but we that dream.

A being darkly wise and rudely great...
He hangs between; in doubt to act or rest;
In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast;
In doubt his mind or body to prefer;
Born to die, and reasoning but to err.

In vain sedate reflections we would make
When half our knowledge we must snatch, not take.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

While pensive poets painful vigils keep, Sleepless themselves, to give their readers sleep.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Hope humbly then; with trembling pinions soar;
Wait the great teacher, Death, and God adore;
What future bliss He gives not thee to know,
But gives that hope to be thy blessing now.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

And each blasphemer quite escape the rod, Because the insult's not on man, but God?

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Dear fatal name! rest ever un...

Dear fatal name! rest ever unreveal'd, Nor pass these lips in holy silence seal'd. Hide it, my heart, within that close disguise, Where mixed with Gods, his lov'd idea lies: O write it not, my hand - the name appears Already written - wash it out, my tears! In vain lost Eloisa weeps and prays, Her heart still dictates, and her hand obeyes.

Giving advice is many times only the privilege of saying a foolish thing one's self, under the pretense of hindering another from doing one.
