Evil is easily discovered there is an infinite variety good is almost unique. But some kinds of evil are almost as difficult to discover as that which we call good and often particular evil of this class passes for good.

Not only do we know God through Jesus Christ, we only know ourselves through Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal

What use is it to us to hear it said of a man that he has thrown off the yoke that he does not believe there is a God to watch over his actions, that he reckons himself the sole master of his behavior, and that he does not intend to give an account of it to anyone but himself?
Blaise Pascal
Image
The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory.
Blaise Pascal
Image
I take it as a matter not to be disputed, that if all knew what each said of the other, there would not be four friends in the world. This seems proved by the quarrels and disputes caused by the disclosures which are occasionally made.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Human beings must be known to be loved but Divine beings must be loved to be known.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Mankind suffers from two excesses: to exclude reason, and to live by nothing but reason.
Blaise Pascal
