Additional quotes by Alexander Pope

True wit is nature to advantage dressed;
What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed.

For, as blushing will sometimes make a whore pass for a virtuous woman, so modesty may make a fool seem a man of sense.

How happy he, who free from care
The rage of courts, and noise of towns; Contented breathes his native air,
In his own grounds
