For the present is generally painful to us.

Blaise Pascal
Image
Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.
Blaise Pascal

Reason is the slow and torturous method by which those who do not know the truth discover it
Blaise Pascal

When we wish to correct with advantage, and to show another that he errs, we must notice from what side he views the matter, for on that side it is usually true.
Blaise Pascal
