Additional quotes by Alexander Pope

Yes, I am proud; I must be proud to see
Men not afraid of God afraid of me.

In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold;
Alike fantastic, if too new, or old:
Be not the first by whom the new are tried,
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.

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