Alexander Pope Quotes

    All Nature is but Art, unknown to thee;
    All chance, direction, which thou canst not see;
    All discord, harmony not understood;
    All partial evil, universal good;
    And, spite of pride, in erring reason’s spite,
    One truth is clear, WHATEVER IS, IS RIGHT.
    -Alexander Pope (1688-1744)

    If I am right, Thy grace impart
    Still in the right to stay:
    If I am wrong, oh teach my heart
    To find that better way.

        On you be every bliss; and every day,
        In home-felt joys delighted, roll away,
        Yourselves, your wives, your long-descending race,
        May every God enrich with every grace.

    Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
    Thus unlamented let me die;
    Steal from the world, and not a stone
    Tell Where I lie.
