Famous quotes containing the word pope:

    “Learn to live well, or fairly make your will;
    You’ve played, and loved, and eat, and drunk your fill:
    Walk sober off; before a sprightlier age
    Comes tittering on, and shoves you from the stage:
    Leave such to trifle with more grace and ease,
    Whom Folly pleases, and whose follies please.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
