All mens miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone. – Blaise Pascal
We like security: we like the pope to be infallible in matters of faith, and grave doctors to be so in moral questions so that we can feel reassured. – Blaise Pascal
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
Justice and truth are too such subtle points that our tools are too blunt to touch them accurately. – Blaise Pascal
