The world forgetting, by the world, forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted, and each wish resign’d”

Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring;
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
and drinking largely sobers us again.”

“Wise wretch! with pleasures too refined to please,
With too much spirit to be e'er at ease,
With too much quickness ever to be taught,
With too much thinking to have common thought:
You purchase pain with all that joy can give,
And die of nothing but a rage to live.”
― Alexander Pope

“Act well your part; there all the honour lies.”
― Alexander Pope

“Vice is a monster of so frightful mien
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.”
― Alexander Pope

“If you want to know what God thinks about money just look at the people He gives it to.”
― Alexander Pope

Man never Is, but always To be blest.
The soul, uneasy, and confin'd from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.”
― Alexander Pope

“Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.”
― Alexander Pope

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

“Words are like Leaves; and where they most abound,
Much Fruit of Sense beneath is rarely found.”
― Alexander Pope

“You purchase pain with all that joy can give and die of nothing but a rage to live.”
― Alexander Pope
