Blaise Pascal
  • The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.

  • The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.

  • It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have everything one wants.

  • Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary.

  • The sensitivity of men to small matters, and their indifference to great ones, indicates a strange inversion.
