Additional quotes by Alexander Pope

Passions...are the gales of life...

Who ne'er knew joy but friendship might divide, Or gave his father grief but when he died.

Tis not enough your counsel still be true;
Blunt truths more mischief than nice falsehoods do;
Men must be taught as if you taught them not,
And things unknown proposed as things forgot.
