Additional quotes by Alexander Pope

The sick in body call for aid: the sick In mind are covetous of more disease; And when at worst, they dream themselves quite well. To know ourselves diseased, is half our cure.

Jangan gembira kalau seseorang ditindas,
Jangan kesal kalau seseorang mendapat berkah.

No place so scared from such frops is barred
Nor is Paul's Church more safe than Paul's Churchyard
Na fly to alter there they'll talk you dead
For fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
