“ ”Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest.
The soul, uneasy, and confin'd from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

Additional quotes by Alexander Pope
All this dread order break- for whom? for thee?
Vile worm!- oh madness! pride! impiety!
But you with pleasure own your errors past,
And make each day a critique on the last.
Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon.
