For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight, His can't be wrong whose life is in the right.
Alexander PopeMusic resembles poetry, in each
Are nameless graces which no methods teach,
And which a master hand alone can reach.

To wake the soul by tender strokes of art,
To raise the genius, and to mend the heart
No place so scared from such frops is barred
Nor is Paul's Church more safe than Paul's Churchyard
Na fly to alter there they'll talk you dead
For fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Men, some to business take, some to pleasure take; but every woman is at heart a rake
Alexander PopeWords are like Leaves; and where they most abound,
Much Fruit of Sense beneath is rarely found.
False Eloquence, like the Prismatic Glass,
Its gawdy Colours spreads on ev’ry place;
The Face of Nature was no more Survey,
All glares alike, without Distinction gay:
But true Expression, like th’ unchanging Sun,
Clears, and improves whate’er it shines upon,
It gilds all Objects, but it alters none.
Sure flattery never traveled so far as three thousand miles; it is now only for truth, which over takes all things, to reach you at this distance.
Alexander PopeYes, I am proud; I must be proud to see
Men not afraid of God afraid of me.

Las palabras son como las hojas; cuando abundan, poco fruto hay entre ellas.
Alexander PopeHow happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;
Labour and rest, that equal periods keep;
Obedient slumbers that can wake and weep.
