“Pleasures are ever in our hands or eyes,
And when in act they cease, in prospect rise;
Present to grasp, and future still to find,
The whole employ of body and mind.”
- Alexander Pope (1688 – 1744), English poet, translator and editor: “An Essay on Man”, 1733.
“Understanding everything makes one very tolerant.”
- Mme de Staël (1766 – 1817), French writer, critic, memoirist and hostess: “Corinne”, 1807.
“The object of government in peace and in war is not the glory of rulers or of races, but the happiness of the common man.”
- William Henry Beveridge (1879 – 1963), British economist and social reformer: “Report on Social Insurance and Allied Services”, 1942.
And when in act they cease, in prospect rise;

The whole employ of body and mind.”
