"Men blaspheme what they do not know...." - Quote by Blaise Pascal

“All err the more dangerously because each follows a truth. Their mistake lies not in following a falsehood but in not following another truth.”

“Necessity, that great refuge and excuse for human frailty, breaks through all law; and he is not to be accounted in fault whose crime is not the effect of choice, but force.”

“Distraction is the only thing that consoles us for our miseries. Yet it is itself the greatest of our miseries.”

“Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all; but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune.”

“The mass of men are very easily imposed on. They have their runways in which they always travel, and are sure to fall into any pit or box-trap set therein.”

“The ultimate ignorance is the rejection of something you know nothing about, yet refuse to investigate.”

“The wisest and the best of men, nay, the wisest and best of their actions, may be rendered ridiculous by a person whose first object in life is a joke.”

“We are so fond of being out among nature, because it has no opinions about us.”

“Weed your better judgments of all opinion that grows rank in them.”
