Not the zeal alone of those who seek Him proves God, but the blindness of those who seek Him not.

Blaise PascalAll men seek happiness. There are no exceptions.... This is the motive of every act of every man, including those who go and hang themselves.
Blaise PascalAll men naturally hate one another. I hold it a fact, that if men knew exactly what one says of the other, there would not be four friends in the world.
Blaise PascalSt. Augustine teaches us that there is in each man a Serpent, an Eve, and an Adam. Our senses and natural propensities are the Serpent; the excitable desire is the Eve; and reason is the Adam. Our nature tempts us perpetually; criminal desire is often excited; but sin is not completed till reason consents.
