We do not weary of eating and sleeping every day, for hunger and sleepiness recur. Without that we should weary of them. So, without the hunger for spiritual things, we weary of them. Hunger after righteousness--the eighth beatitude.
Blaise PascalSince we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.
Blaise PascalWe never live, but we hope to live; and as we are always arranging to be happy, it must be that we never are so.
Blaise PascalThe secrets of nature are concealed; her agency is perpetual, but we do not always discover its effects; time reveals them from age to age; and although she is always the same in herself, she is not always equally well known.
Blaise PascalInstead of complaining that God had hidden himself, you will give Him thanks for having revealed so much of Himself.
Blaise PascalWhen I consider the small span of my life absorbed in the eternity of all time, or the small part of space which I can touch or see engulfed by the infinite immensity of spaces that I know not and that know me not, I am frightened and astonished to see myself here instead of there โฆ now instead of then.
Blaise Pascal
