You gave me health that I might serve you and so often I failed to use my good health in your service. Now you send me sickness in order to correct me Grant that, having ignored the things of spirit when my body was vigorous, I may now enjoy spiritual sweetness while my body groans with pain.

Blaise Pascal
Image
Flies are so mighty that they win battles, paralyse our minds, eat up our bodies.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Imagination magnifies small objects with fantastic exaggeration until they fill our soul, and with bold insolence cuts down great things to its own size, as when speaking of God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Voluptuousness, like justice, is blind, but that is the only resemblance between them.
Blaise Pascal
Image
By thought I embrace the universe.
Blaise Pascal

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The greater intellect one has, the more originality one finds in men. Ordinary persons find no difference between men.
