Continuous eloquence wearies. Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Let man reawake and consider what he is compared with the reality of things regard himself lost in this remote corner of Nature and from the tiny cell where he lodges, to wit the Universe, weigh at their true worth earth, kingdoms, towns, himself. What is a man face to face with infinity?
Blaise Pascal
Image
All mankind's troubles are caused by one single thing, which is their inability to sit quietly.
Blaise Pascal

The strength of a man's virtue should not be measured by his special exertions, but by his habitual acts.
Blaise Pascal
