More From Blaise Pascal

The great crime which the moneyed classes and promoters of industry committed in the palmy victorian days was the condemning of the workers to ugliness, ugliness, ugliness: meanness and formless and ugly surroundings, ugly ideals, ugly religion, ugly hope, ugly love, ugly clothes, ugly furniture, ugly houses, ugly relationship between workers and employers. the human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.

Imagine hidden in a simpler exterior a secret receptacle wherein the most precious treasure is deposited - there is a spring which has to be pressed, but the spring is hidden, and the pressure must have a certain strength, so that an accidental pressure would not be sufficient. so likewise is the hope of eternity hidden in man's inmost parts, and affliction is the pressure. when it presses the hidden spring, and strongly enough, then the contents appear in all their glory.

In the story of ugly duckling, when did the ugly duckling stop feeling ugly? when he realized that he was a swan. each of us has something special, a swan of some sort, hidden inside somewhere. but until we recognize that it's there, what can we do but splash around, treading water? the wise are who they are. they work with what they've got and do what they can do.

Government usually doesn't work. it doesn't work because it is political. people who are wise, good, smart, skillful, or hardworking don't need politics, they have jobs. the difference between the political process and an honest life is the difference between parading around waving picket signs while hollering catcalls in front of the white house and getting up in the morning to go make a living.
