Blaise Pascal
  • Faith is different from proof the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God.

  • Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see it is above, not against them.

  • Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.

  • 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.

  • If we examine our thoughts, we shall find them always occupied with the past and the future.
