More From Alexander Pope

Politicians will promise some pretty ridiculous things. they will promise a chicken in every pot. they'll promise that they'll keep social security solvent. they'll promise drugs for old people. they'll promise lots of stuff. but it doesn't come near the kind of promises that religion makes. the mormons promise that if you're good while you're on earth, you get to rule over your own planet in the afterlife. now, there's an entitlement that goes a little bit beyond prescription drugs for old people.

In our country and in our times no man is worthy the honored name of statesman who does not include the highest practicable education of the people in all his plans of administration. he may have eloquence, he may have a knowledge of all history, diplomacy, jurisprudence; and by these he might claim, in other countries, the elevated rank of a statesman: but unless he speaks, plans, labors, at all times and in all places, for the culture and edification of the whole people, he is not, he cannot be, an american statesman.

Learn all you can, don't be lazy. nothing's worse than being stupid. being broke is bad, but being stupid is what's really bad. and what's really really bad is being broke and stupid. nothing's much worse than that. unless you're sick. sick, broke and stupid, that’s about as far as you can fall unless you're ugly. surely that would be the ultimate; ugly, sick, broke and stupid.

Relationship is action, is it not? action has meaning only in relationship; without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. the understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action. the ideology, the pattern for action, prevents action. action based on ideology hinders the understanding of relationship between man and man.

A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking jack and coke all morning. she can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. promise of a better day. promise of a greater hope. promise of a new tomorrow. this particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. in her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay.

When you say 'yes' or promise something, you can very easily deceive yourself and others also, as if you had already done what you promised. it is easy to think that by making a promise you have at least done part of what you promised to do, as if the promise itself were something of value. not at all! in fact, when you do not do what you promise, it is a long way back to the truth.

Christianity doesn't come into it. george bush and tony blair are not christians. religious people believe in the prophets, peace be upon them. bush believes in the profits and how to get a piece of them. so don't ever confuse this with a war of civilizations.

What repeatedly enters your mind and occupies your mind, eventually shapes your mind, and will ultimately express itself in what you do and who you become.

If positive christianity means love of one's neighbour, i.e. the tending of the sick, the clothing of the poor, the feeding of the hungry, the giving of drink to those who are thirsty, then it is we who are the more positive christians. for in these spheres the community of the people of national socialist germany has accomplished a prodigious work.
