More From Alexander Pope

A gen'rous heart repairs a sland'rous tongue.

We decided that 'trivial' means 'proved'. so we joked with the mathematicians: we have a new theorem- that mathematicians can prove only trivial theorems, because every theorem that's proved is trivial.

If you throw one stone, it’s a punishable offence. if 1,000 stones are thrown, it’s political action. if you set a car on fire, it’s a punishable offence. if hundreds of cars are set on fire, it’s political action. protest is when i say i don’t agree with something. resistance is when i ensure that things with which i disagree no longer take place.

We avoid the things that we're afraid of because we think there will be dire consequences if we confront them. but the truly dire consequences in our lives come from avoiding things that we need to learn about or discover.

We forgive, we mortify our resentment; a week later some chain of thought carries us back to the original offence and we discover the old resentment blazing away as if nothing had been done about it at all. we need to forgive our brother seventy times seven not only for 490 offences but for one offence.

Since the fabric of the universe is most perfect and the work of a most wise creator, nothing at all takes place in the universe in which some rule of maximum or minimum does not appear ... there is absolutely no doubt that every affect in the universe can be explained satisfactorily from final causes, by the aid of the method of maxima and minima, as it can be from the effective causes themselves ... of course, when the effective causes are too obscure, but the final causes are readily ascertained, the problem is commonly solved by the indirect method.

There is a wise being living inside of you. it is your intuitive self. focus your awareness into a deep place in your body, a place where your "gut feelings" reside. you can communicate with it by silently talking to it, making requests, or asking questions. then relax, don't think too hard with your mind, and be open to receiving answers. they are usually very simple and relate to the present moment, not the past or the future, and they feel right.

I do profess to be no less than i seem; to serve him truly that will put me in trust: to love him that is honest; to converse with him that is wise, and says little; to fear judgment; to fight when i cannot choose; and to eat no fish.
