Additional quotes by Alexander Pope

Lo these were they, whose souls the Furies steel'd, And curs'd with hearts unknowing how to yield. Thus unlamented pass the proud away, The gaze of fools, and pageant of a day! So perish all, whose breast ne'er learn'd to glow For others' good, or melt at others' woe.

Nor Fame I slight, nor for her favors call; She comes unlooked for, if she comes at all.

The world forgetting, by the world forgot.

Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon. - Alexander Pope
