"Wisdom leads us back to childhood...." - Quote by Blaise Pascal

“Continuity in everything is unpleasant.”

“Man lives between the infinitely large and the infinitely small.”

“It is not in Montaigne, but in myself, that I find all that I see in him.”

“Innumerable changes of moods are yours, and they are uncontrolled by you. If you knew their origin, you would be able to dominate them. If you cannot localize your own changes, how can you localize that which formed you?”

“Old Marley was as dead as a doornail. Mind! I don't mean to say that, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a doornail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a doornail.”

“Better know nothing than half-know many things.”

“To be successful, you should concentrate on the world of companies, not arcane accounting mathematics.”

“All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small.”

“The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm; his own hands to use, not the hands of others to command.”
