If you gain, you gain all. If you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then, without hesitation, that He exsists.

Let us weigh up the gain and the loss involved in calling heads that God exists. Let us assess the two cases: if you win you win everything, if you lose you lose nothing. Do not hesitate then; wager that he does exist.

Our nature lies in movement; complete calm is death.
