To dazzle let the vain design; to raise the thought and touch the heart be thine  (Alexander Pope Quotes) I begin where most people end, with a full conviction of the emptiness of all sorts of ambition, and the unsatisfactory nature of all human pleasures  (Alexander Pope Quotes) It is the rust we value, not the gold; authors, like coins, grow dear as they grow old  (Alexander Pope Quotes) 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 Quotes) The modest fan was lifted up no more, and virgins smiled at what they blushed before  (Alexander Pope Quotes) Pretty conceptions, fine metaphors, glittering expressions, and something of a neat cast of verse are properly the dress, gems, or loose ornaments of poetry  (Alexander Pope Quotes) It is not so correct to say that he speaks from nature as that she speaks through him  (Alexander Pope Quotes) There should be, methinks, as little merit in loving a woman for her beauty as in loving a man for his prosperity; both being equally subject to change  (Alexander Pope Quotes) O let us still the secret joy partake, to follow virtue even for virtue’s sake  (Alexander Pope Quotes) As man, perhaps, the moment of his breath, receives the lurking principle of death, the younger disease, that must subdue at length, grows with his growth, and strengthens with his strength  (Alexander Pope Quotes) Now deep in ocean sunk the lamp of light, and drew behind the cloudy veil of night  (Alexander Pope Quotes) It is very natural for a young friend and a young lover to think the persons they love have nothing to do but to please them  (Alexander Pope Quotes) Such as are still observing upon others are like those who are always abroad at other men’s houses, reforming everything there while their own runs to ruin  (Alexander Pope Quotes) Then take him to develop, if you can and hew the bock off, and get out the man  (Alexander Pope Quotes) He from thick films shall purge the visual ray, and on the sightless eyeball pour the day  (Alexander Pope 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  (Alexander Pope Quotes) Music the fiercest grief can charm, and fate’s severest rage disarm. Music can soften pain to ease, and make despair and madness please; our joys below it can improve, and antedate the bliss above  (Alexander Pope Quotes) Hark! The numbers soft and clear, gently steal upon the ear; now louder, and yet louder rise and fill with spreading sounds the skies  (Alexander Pope Quotes) Men some to business, some to pleasure take; but every woman is at heart a rake; men some to quiet, some to public strife; but every lady would be queen for life  (Alexander Pope Quotes) Whoever thinks a perfect work to see, thinks what ne’er was, nor is, nor e’er shall be  (Alexander Pope Quotes) She saw her sons with purple death expire, her sacred domes involved in rolling fire, a dreadful series of intestine wars, inglorious triumphs and dishonest scars  (Alexander Pope Quotes) Learn from the birds what food the thickets yield; learn from the beasts the physic of the field; the arts of building from the bee receive; learn of the mole to plough, the worm to weave  (Alexander Pope Quotes) Is it for thee the linnet pours his throat? Loves of his own, and raptures swell the note  (Alexander Pope Quotes) Pleasures are ever in our hands or eyes; and when in act they cease, in prospect rise  (Alexander Pope Quotes) What riches give us let us then inquire: Meat, fire, and clothes. What more? Meat, clothes, and fire.
