Not grace, or zeal, love only was my call,
More quotes by Alexander Pope
Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night:
God said, "Let Newton be!" and all was light.
Histories are more full of Examples of the Fidelity of dogs than of Friends.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
The mouse that always trusts to one poor hole
Can never be a mouse of any soul.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
