More From Blaise Pascal

The last proceeding of reason is to recognize that there is an infinity of things which are beyond it. there is nothing so conformable to reason as this disavowal of reason.
Lasts Infinity Reason
Communists disavow the existence of god and religion. they hate it, because it's a competitor.
Hate Communist Existence
Terrorism is a word with little content - it is a label for brutalities committed by ‘the enemy’, and from which one’s own acts of destruction are exempted. it is an inchoate and emotionally laden concept, a semantic mirror of our dishonesty and a repository for everything about war that we would like to disavow. making a sharp distinction between war and terrorism is at best a self-deceptive game.
War Mirrors Self
All who say the same things do not possess them in the same manner; and hence the incomparable author of the art of conversation pauses with so much care to make it understood that we must not judge of the capacity of a man by the excellence of a happy remark that we heard him make. let us penetrate, says he, the mind from which it proceeds. it will oftenest be seen that he will be made to disavow it on the spot, and will be drawn very far from this better thought in which he does not believe, to plunge himself into another, quite base and ridiculous.
Art Believe Men
Nature is indeed a specious ward, nay, there is a great deal in it if it is properly understood and applied, but i cannot bear to hear people using it to justify what common sense must disavow. is not nature modifed by art in many things? was it not designed to be so? and is it not happy for human society that it is so? would you like to see your husband let his beard grow, until he would be obliged to put the end of it in his pocket, because this beard is the gift of nature?
Art Nature Husband
One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us and whereto our passions transport us. but those which by long habit are rooted in a strong and anchored in a powerful will are not subject to contradiction. repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies, which diverts us here and there.
Forgiveness Strong Powerful
