More From Blaise Pascal

It is not certain that everything is certain, neither is it certain that everything is uncertain.
Intriguing Uncertain Certain
Fancy what a game of chess would be if all the chessmen had passions and intellects, more or less small and cunning; if you were not only uncertain about your adversary's men, but a little uncertain also about your own. you would be especially likely to be beaten, if you depended arrogantly on your mathematical imagination, and regarded your passionate pieces with contempt. yet this imaginary chess is easy compared with a game a man has to play against his fellow-men with other fellow-men for instruments.
Passion Men Games
We may, indeed, say that the hour of death is uncertain, but when we say this we think of that hour as situated in a vague and remote expanse of time; it does not occur to us that it can have any connexion with the day that has already dawned and can mean that death -- or its first assault and partial possession of us, after which it will never leave hold of us again -- may occur this very afternoon, so far from uncertain, this afternoon whose time-table, hour by hour, has been settled in advance.
Mean Thinking Doe

Truth Real Dark
We may have revolved every possible idea in our minds, and yet the truth has never occurred to us, and it is from without, when we are least expecting it, that it gives us its cruel stab and wounds us forever.
Truth Ideas Giving
We don't regard any scientific theory as the absolute truth
Theory Absolute Truth Regard
Truth must be repeated again and again, because error is constantly being preached round about.
Truth Errors Again And Again
