Quotes by Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope

The same ambition can destroy or save, and make a patriot as it makes a knave.

So vast is art, so narrow human wit.

Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the trees inclined.

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

Never find fault with the absent.

Tis but a part we see, and not a whole.

“Order is heavens first law.”
