The Dying Christian to His Soul (1712) -Vital spark of heav'nly flame! Quit, oh quit, this mortal frame: Trembling, hoping, ling'ring, flying, Oh the pain, the bliss of dying! Stanza 1.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Then most our trouble still when most admired, And still the more we give, the more required; Whose fame with pains we guard, but lose with ease, Sure some to vex, but never all to please.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Remembrance and reflection how allied! What thin partitions Sense from Thought divide!
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Some who grow dull religious straight commence And gain in morals what they lose in sense.

Quote by -Alexander Pope
For he lives twice who can at once employ, The present well, and e’en the past enjoy.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
No place so scared from such frops is barred Nor is Paul's Church more safe than Paul's Churchyard Na fly to alter there they'll talk you dead For fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Philosophy, that leaned on Heaven before, Shrinks to her second cause, and is no more.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Averse alike to flatter, or offend; Not free from faults, nor yet too vain to mend.

Happy the man, whose wish and care A few paternal acres bound, Content to breathe his native air In his own ground.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight, His can't be wrong whose life is in the right.

The hungry judges soon the sentence sign, and wretches hang that jurymen may dine.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Some judge of authors' names, not works, and then nor praise nor blame the writings, but the men.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
We may see the small Value God has for Riches, by the People he gives them to." [Thoughts on Various Subjects, 1727]
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Sure flattery never traveled so far as three thousand miles; it is now only for truth, which over takes all things, to reach you at this distance.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
How vain are all these Glories, all our Pains, Unless good Sense preserve what Beauty gains: That Men may say, when we the Front-box grace, Behold the first in Virtue, as in Face!
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Thy voice I seem in ev'ry hymn to hear, with ev'ry bead I drop too soft a tear...

Inscriptions here of various Names I view'd, The greater part by hostile time subdu'd; Yet wide was spread their fame in ages past, And Poets once had promis'd they should last.

Know thy own point: this kind, this due degree Of blindness, weakness, Heav'n bestows on thee.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Trust not yourself; but your defects to know, Make use of ev'ry friend—and ev'ry foe.

All this dread order break- for whom? for thee? Vile worm!- oh madness! pride! impiety!
Quote by -Alexander Pope
A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, taste not the Pierian Spring
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish, or a sparrow fall, Atoms or systems into ruin hurled, And now a bubble burst, and now a world.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Oh! if to dance all night, and dress all day, Charm'd the small-pox, or chased old age away; Who would not scorn what housewife's cares produce, Or who would learn one earthly thing of use?
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Intrepid then, o'er seas and lands he flew: Europe he saw, and Europe saw him too.
