Blaise Pascal
Not to be mad is another form of madness
Blaise Pascal
No soul of high estate can take pleasure in slander. It betrays a weakness.
Blaise Pascal
All men have happiness as their object: there is no exception. However different the means they employ, they all aim at the same end.
Blaise Pascal
If we regulate our conduct according to our own convictions, we may safely disregard the praise or censure of others.
Blaise Pascal
There is enough light for those who only desire to see, and enough obscurity for those who have a contrary disposition
Blaise Pascal
