More From Blaise Pascal

The real power of this book comes from its documentation from major sources. in fact, you will quickly discover that most of my documents about jewish supremacism are from jewish sources. they argue more convincingly for my point of view than anything i could write. i encourage you to go to the sources that i quote and check them out for yourself. in this book i take you along with me on a fascinating journey of discovery in a forbidden subject. i urge you to courageously keep an open mind while you explore the topics ahead, for that is the only way any of us can find the truth.

I wanted to be on my own. i couldn't wait to be on my own. it did not scare me. i was dependent my parents. i wasn't dependent government, but i was dependent on my parents. i started working essentially when i was 16, but i was still dependent on my parents. i couldn't wait to be on my own.

Real happiness is not dependent on external things. the pond is fed from within. the kind of happiness that stays with you is the happiness that springs from inward thoughts and emotions. you must cultivate your mind if you wish to achieve enduring happiness.
Motivational Real Spring
Happiness is a state of non-contradictory joy--a joy without penalty or guilt, a joy that does not clash with any of your values and does not work for your own destruction, not the joy of escaping from your mind, but of using your mind's fullest power, not the joy of faking reality, but of achieving values that are real, not the joy of a drunkard, but of a producer.
Happiness Real Escaping
I am sorry to have to introduce the subject of christmas. it is an indecent subject; a cruel, gluttonous subject; a drunken, disorderly subject; a wasteful, disastrous subject; a wicked, cadging, lying, filthy, blasphemous and demoralizing subject. christmas is forced on a reluctant and disgusted nation by the shopkeepers and the press: on its own merits it would wither and shrivel in the fiery breath of universal hatred; and anyone who looked back to it would be turned into a pillar of greasy sausages.
Sorry Lying Hatred
He who thinks he can have flesh and bones without being subject to any external influence, or any accidents of matter, unconsciously wishes to reconcile two opposites, viz., to be at the same time subject and not subject to change. if man were never subject to change there could be no generation; there would be one single being, but no individuals forming a species.

Similar Quotes
As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed. as long as the connection subsists between his reason and his self-love, his opinions and passions will have a reciprocal influence on each other, and the former will be objects to which the latter attach themselves.

If there is confusion in your head and in your heart, what more do you want! a man who no longer loves and no longer errs should have himself buried straight away.

The state did not originate in any form of social agreement, or with any disinterested view of promoting order and justice. far otherwise. the state originated in conquest and confiscation, as a device for maintaining the stratification of society permanently into two classes-an owning and exploiting class, relatively small, and a propertyless dependent class. . . . no state known to history originated in any other manner, or for any other purpose than to enable the continuous economic exploitation of one class by another.
Views Agreement Order
He that is warm for truth, and fearless in its defense, performs one of the duties of a good man; he strenghtens his own conviction, and guards others from delusion; but steadiness of belief, and boldness of profession, are yet only part of the form of godliness.
