For forms of government let fools contest;
Whate’er is best administered is best:
For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight;
His can’t be wrong whose life is in the right.
In faith and hope the world will disagree,
But all mankind’s concern is charity.

Alexander Pope (1688–1744) English poet
“An Essay on Man,” Epistle 3, l. 303 (1733-1734)
