Blaise pascal

Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.

Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.

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

Time heals griefs and quarrels, for we change and are no longer the same persons. Neither the offender nor the offended are any more themselves.

Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical.

We view things not only from different sides, but with different eyes; we have no wish to find them alike.

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

Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.

If you gain, you gain all. If you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then, without hesitation, that He exists.
