Alexander Pope
Image
When to the Permanent is sacrificed the Mutable, the prize is thine: the drop returneth whence it came. The Open Path leads to the changeless change - Non-Being, the glorious state of Absoluteness, the Bliss past human thought.
Alexander Pope
Image
Honor and shame from no condition rise. Act well your part: there all the honor lies.
Alexander Pope
Image
But see, Orion sheds unwholesome dews Arise, the pines a noxious shade diffuse Sharp Boreas blows, and nature feels decay, Time conquers all, and we must time obey.
Alexander Pope

The proper study of Mankind is Man.
Alexander Pope
Image
Is that a birthday? 'tis, alas! too clear 'Tis but the funeral of the former year.
