Jesus Christ is the god whom we approach without pride, and before whom we humble ourselves without despair. - Blaise Pascal

Do not be astonished to see simple people believing without argument. God makes them love him and hate themselves. He inclines their hearts to believe. We shall never believe, with an effective belief and faith, unless God inclines our hearts.

All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit quiet in a room alone.

Man is neither angel nor devil, and his tragedy is that he who tries too hard to play the first too often ends up as the second.
