Additional quotes by Alexander Pope

What Reason weaves, by Passion is undone.

Out with it, Dunciad: let the secret pass -
That secret to each fool - that he's an ass.
The truth once told (and whereby should we lie?),
The queen of Midas slept, and so may I.
You think this cruel? Take it for a rule,
No creature smarts so little as a fool.

The ruling passion, be it what it will,
The ruling passion conquers reason still.
