The Works of Alexander Pope, Esq., with Notes and Illustrations, by Himself and Others. To which are Added, a New Life of the Author, an Estimate of His Poetical Character and Writings, and Occasional Remarks by William Roscoe, Esq Quotes

“A brave man thinks no one his superior who does him an injury, for he has it then in his power to make himself superior to the other by forgiving it.”

“Who combats bravely is not therefore brave, He dreads a death-bed like the meanest slave: Who reasons wisely is not therefore wise,- His pride in reasoning, not in acting lies.”

“A brave man struggling in the storms of fate, And greatly falling with a falling state.”
