Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists. – Blaise Pascal
Too much and too little wine. Give him none, he cannot find truth give him too much, the same. – Blaise Pascal
Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other. – Blaise Pascal
Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see it is above, not against them. – Blaise Pascal
The consequences of things are not always proportionate to the apparent magnitude of those events that have produced them. Thus the American Revolution, from which little was expected, produced much; but the French Revolution, from which much was expected, produced little. – Charles Caleb Colton
