Alexander Pope quotes:
 

1) No one should be ashamed to admit they are wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that they are wiser today than they were yesterday.

2) All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul.

3) And, after all, what is a lie? 'Tis but the truth in a masquerade.

4) Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.

5) Fools admire, but men of sense approve.

6) Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

7) Good God! how often are we to die before we go quite off this stage? In every friend we lose a part of ourselves, and the best part.

8) Honor and shame from no condition rise. Act well your part: there all the honor lies.

9) How happy is the blameless vestal's lot? The world forgetting, by the world forgot.

10) Lulled in the countless chambers of the brain, our thoughts are linked by many a hidden chain; awake but one, and in, what myriads rise!

11) Not to go back is somewhat to advance, and men must walk, at least, before they dance.

12) On wrongs swift vengeance waits.

13) Pride is still aiming at the best houses: Men would be angels, angels would be gods. Aspiring to be gods, if angels fell; aspiring to be angels men rebel.

14) Remembrance and reflection how allied. What thin partitions divides sense from thought.

15) Teach me to feel another's woe, To hide the fault I see, That mercy I to others show, That mercy show to me.

16) The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.

17) 'Tis not enough your counsel still be true; Blunt truths more mischief than nice falsehoods do.

18) To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.

19) Trust not yourself, but your defects to know, make use of every friend and every foe.
