More From Alexander Pope

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
I do not believe in the creed professed by the jewish church, by the roman church, by the greek church, by the turkish church, by the protestant church, nor by any church that i know of. my own mind is my own church.
Atheist Pain Fear
To be secure everywhere is the mark of sophistication, to be unshakable is the mark of courage, to be permanently in love with every person is the mark of masculinity or femininity, to forgive is the mark of strength, to govern our senses and passions is the mark of freedom.
Passion Forgiving Unshakable
In the name of religion, one tortures, persecutes, builds pyres. in the guise of ideologies, one massacres, tortures and kills. in the name of justice one punishes...in the name of love of one's country or of one's race hates other countries, despises them, massacres them. in the name of equality and brotherhood there is suppression and torture. there is nothing in common between the means and the end, the means go far beyond the end...ideologies and religion... are the alibis of the means.
Country Hate Mean
Our god is a god of love. he waits with open arms, and the unfolding of his merciful plan of salvation is not only therefore the mark of divine power but also the mark of god's relentless, redeeming love. it is a point well worth pondering because, among other reasons, it will help us to understand better why god, through the prophets, denounces sin and corruption in such scalding terms. he loves all of us, his spirit sons and daughters, but hates our vices. his denunciation of those vices may, if we are not careful, seem to obscure the enormous and perfect love he has for us.
Love Daughter Hate
We humans have had from time unknown the compulsion to name things and thus to be able to deal with them. the name we give to something shapes our attitude toward it. and in ancient thought the name itself has power, so that to know someone's name is to have a certain power over him. and in some societies, as you know, there was a public name and a real or secret name, which would not be revealed to others.

We must want for others, not ourselves alone.
Inspirational Attitude Sacrifice
I'm a complete libertarian. i think it's very, very dangerous. i really mean that. i think the smoking ban is a tip of an iceberg of society - the leaders of society telling us how to be. i think it's not their business. it's an attitude where the governors think, 'we know what's best for people, and they're so stupid that they would only not do it if we ban it.'
Attitude Stupid Mean
When i first started to do fashion shows i didn't have the budget to hire top models so i would cast women who inspired me, and ask them to walk how they walked. i was doing a mise en scène, which for me was normal. i love for people to see my clothes, but it was more about the attitude of the girls. the revues of the late 19th century/early 20th century were very much a reflection of what was happening in society and politics, and for me that is also the role of the fashion designer.
Girl Fashion Attitude
Well-meaning, helpful, good-natured attitudes of mind have not come to be honored on account of their usefulness, but because they are states of richer souls that are capable of bestowing and have their value in the feeling of the plenitude of life.
