Alexander Pope Quotes

Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon.

Oh name forever sad! forever dear!
Still breathed in sighs, still ushered with a tear.

Absent or dead, still let a friend be dear.

For fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

No woman ever hates a man for being in love with her; but many a woman hates a ma for being her friend.

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.

Words are like leaves; and where they most abound,
Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.

Curse on all laws but those which love has made!

One who is too wise an observer of the business of others, like one who is too curious in observing the labor of bees, will often be stung for his curiosity.

Sir, I admit your general rule,
That every poet is a fool,
But you yourself may serve to show it,
That every fool is not a poet

'Tis with our judgments as our watches, none
Go just alike, yet each believes his own.
