Alexander Pope
O happiness! our being's end and aim! Good, pleasure, ease, content! whate'er thy name: That something still which prompts the eternal sigh, For which we bear to live, or dare to die.
Alexander Pope
There is nothing wanting to make all rational and disinterested people in the world of one religion, but that they should talk together every day.
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, A being darkly wise and rudely great... He hangs between in doubt to act or rest In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast In doubt his mind or body to prefer Born to die, and reasoning but to err.
Alexander Pope
A little learning is a dangerous thing Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring.
Alexander Pope
