* The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of.
* I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man's being unable to sit still in a room.
* Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.
* Faith is different from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God.
* Had Cleopatra's nose been shorter, the whole face of the world would have changed.
* It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.
* Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical.
* Law, without force, is impotent.
* Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.
* There are only two kinds of men: the righteous who think they are sinners and the sinners who think they are righteous.
(Blaise Pascal, French Jansenist theologian, philosopher, mathematician, physicist & author, 1623 - 1662)
