Alexander Pope Quotes

"Some people will never learn anything for this reason because they understand everything too soon""A sentiment worse than extravagance is avarice the extreme of economy""Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel""To err is human, to forgive, divine""A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong which is but saying in other words that he is wiser today than he was yesterday""True ease in writing comes from art not chance as those move easiest who have learn’d to dance""One thought of thee puts all the pomp to flight""Words are like leaves and where they most abound much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found""Charm strike the sight but merit wins the soul""To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves""Do good by stealth and blush to find it fame""Of all the causes which conspire to blind Man’s erring judgment and misguide the mind What the weak head with strongest bias rules Is pride the never-failing vice of fools""Blessed is the man who expects nothing for he shall never be disappointed""A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left""The more you read the more you will know the more you learn the more places you’ll go""An honest man's the noblest work of God""The proper study of mankind is man""What reason weaves by passion is undone""Act well your part there all the honour lies""Know then thyself presume not God to scan"
