Additional quotes by Alexander Pope

Vain was the chief's, the sage's pride! They had no poet, and they died. In vain they schem'd, in vain they bled! They had no poet, and are dead.

Like bubbles on the sea of matter borne, they rise, they break, and to that sea return.

Let such teach others who themselves excel

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! - Alexander Pope
