You always admire what you really don't understand.
From Blaise Pascal
The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory.
Imagination decides everything.
Little things console us because little things afflict us.
Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed.
All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room.
Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.
That we must love one God only is a thing so evident that it does not require miracles to prove it.
If our condition were truly happy, we would not seek diversion from it in order to make ourselves happy.
Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.
