Alexander Pope

Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll; charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence?

Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

Gentle dullness ever loves a joke.

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

For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight, His can't be wrong whose life is in the right.

Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.

Not always actions show the man; we find who does a kindness is not therefore kind.

A person who is too nice an observer of the business of the crowd, like one who is too curious in observing the labor of bees, will often be stung for his curiosity.

If a man's character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.

So vast is art, so narrow human wit.

One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.
