Alexander Pope
-
Know then thyself, presume not God to scan The proper study of mankind is man.
-
For Forms of Government let fools contest whatever is best administered is best.
-
The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.
-
Know then this truth, enough for man to know virtue alone is happiness below.
-
What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn't much better than tedious disease.
