Additional quotes by Alexander Pope

Happy the man whose wish and care A few paternal acres bound, Content to breathe his native air In his own ground.

Know, sense, like charity, begins at home.

Is it, in Heav'n, a crime to love too well? To bear too tender, or too firm a heart, To act a lover's or a Roman's part? Is there no bright reversion in the sky, For those who greatly think, or bravely die?

Good God! how often are we to die before we go quite off this stage? in every friend we lose a part of ourselves, and the best part. - Alexander Pope
