Blaise Pascal
  • Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.

  • Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.

  • Human beings must be known to be loved but Divine beings must be loved to be known.

  • Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true.

  • If we must not act save on a certainty, we ought not to act on religion, for it is not certain. But how many things we do on an uncertainty, sea voyages, battles!
