The proper quote is:

	Presume not God to scan,
	The proper study of mankind is man.

It is from "An Essay on Man" by Alexander Pope. Louis Untermeyer in
"A Golden Treasury of Great Poems" , after noting that Pope's reputation
has suffered the vagaries of changing taste through the ages, states
that "... the unlettered of all ages, unaware of the source, continue
to quote him ..."   Hmmm.
