Top 5 quotes from Blaise Pascal
"The last thing one discovers in composing a work is what to put first."
"I made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it short."
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."
"The heart has its reasons, of which the mind knows nothing."
"I maintain that, if everyone knew what others said about him, there would not be four friends in the world."
Top 5 quotes from Miscellaneous
"Sex and creativity are often seen by dictators as subversive activities."
"Everything in the world may be endured except continued prosperity."
"Man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only."
"Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention."
"My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint."
