There are vices which have no hold upon us, but in connection with others; and which, when you cut down the trunk, fall like the branches.

Blaise PascalPiety is different from superstition. To carry piety to the extent of superstition is to destroy it. The heretics reproach us with this superstitious submission. It is doing what they reproach us with.
