More From Blaise Pascal

Christ be with me, christ within me, christ behind me, christ before me, christ beside me, christ to win me, christ to comfort me and restore me, christ beneath me, christ above me, christ in quiet, christ in danger, christ in hearts of all that love me, christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.
