A little learning is a dangerous thing. Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring; There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saying in other words that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Our judgments, like our watches, none go just alike, yet each believes his own
Quote by -Alexander Pope
True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, As those move easiest who have learn'd to dance.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Words are like Leaves; and where they most abound, Much Fruit of Sense beneath is rarely found.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Vice is a monster of so frightful mien As to be hated needs but to be seen; Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
You purchase pain with all that joy can give and die of nothing but a rage to live.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Hope springs eternal in the human breast; Man never Is, but always To be blest. The soul, uneasy, and confin'd from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll; Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
If you want to know what God thinks about money just look at the people He gives it to.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
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.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, Let Newton be! and all was light.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
No woman ever hates a man for being in love with her; but mainly a woman hates a man for being her friend.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
If I am right, Thy grace impart Still in the right to stay; If I am wrong, O, teach my heart To find that better way!
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Death, only death, can break the lasting chain; And here, ev'n then, shall my cold dust remain
Quote by -Alexander Pope
To wake the soul by tender strokes of art, To raise the genius, and to mend the heart
Quote by -Alexander Pope
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.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie;for an excuse is a lie guarded
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Music resembles poetry, in each Are nameless graces which no methods teach, And which a master hand alone can reach.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Men must be taught as if you taught them not, And things unknown propos'd as things forgot.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Man never thinks himself happy, but when he enjoys those things which others want or desire.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Of all the causes which conspire to blind Man's erring judgement, and misguide the mind, What the weak head with strongest bias rules, Is PRIDE, the never-failing vice of fools.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
All forms that perish other forms supply, (By turns we catch the vital breath and die) Like bubbles on the sea of matter borne, They rise, they break, and to that sea return.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Authors are partial to their wit, 'tis true, But are not critics to their judgment, too?
Quote by -Alexander Pope
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.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
While pensive poets painful vigils keep, Sleepless themselves, to give their readers sleep.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold; Alike fantastic, if too new, or old: Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
