Alexander Pope

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!

Never elated when someone's oppressed, never dejected when another one's blessed.

How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence?

To have dominion by religion, is to have dominion over men's souls, thus over their very spiritual life, and to use the Divine things, which are in their religion, as the means.

In the final analysis, it is your decision to make, but it doesn't move as fast as I'd like it to move.

I've always had real trouble knowing what my actual desires and goals are. I've just been dragged along by fate.
