Additional quotes by Alexander Pope

Of all affliction taught a lover yet,
'Tis sure the hardest science to forget!
How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense,
And love th' offender, yet detest th' offence?

Let opening roses knotted oaks adorn, And liquid amber drop from every thorn.

Let such, such only tread this sacred floor, Who dare to love their country and be poor.

He, who supreme in judgment, as in wit, Might boldly censure, as he boldly writ. - Alexander Pope
