The weather and my mood have little connection. I have my foggy and my fine days within me; my prosperity or misfortune has little to do with the matter.
From Blaise Pascal
The consciousness of the falsity of present pleasures, and the ignorance of the vanity of absent pleasures, cause inconstancy.
Nothing is as approved as mediocrity, the majority has established it and it fixes its fangs on whatever gets beyond it either way.
Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.
Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.
When we are in love we seem to ourselves quite different from what we were before.
Love has reasons which reason cannot understand.
If you gain, you gain all. If you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then, without hesitation, that He exists.
The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble.
Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.
