All great amusements are dangerous to the Christian life but among all those which the world has invented there is none more to be feared than the theater. It is a representation of the passions so natural and so delicate that it excites them and gives birth to them in our hearts, and, above all, to that of love.

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.

Justice is what is established and thus all our established laws will necessarily be regarded as just without examination, since they are established.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Cold words freeze people, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words make them wrathful. Kind words also produce their own image on men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They smooth, and quiet, and comfort the hearer.
