"All our dignity lies in our thoughts...." - Quote by Blaise Pascal

“Our achievements of today are but the sum total of our thoughts of yesterday.”

“Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.”

“There should be in eloquence that which is pleasing and that which is real; but that which is pleasing should itself be real.”

“‎In today's materialistic world there is a risk of people becoming slaves to money, as though they were simply cogs in a huge money-making machine. This does nothing for human dignity, freedom, and genuine well-being. Wealth should serve humanity, and not the other way around.”

“Remember this - that there is a proper dignity and proportion to be observed in the performance of every act of life.”

“What is dignity without honesty?”

“If your thought is a rose, you are a rose garden; and if it is a thistle, you are fuel for the fire.”

“The talker has found a hearer but not a listener; and though he may talk his very best for his own sake, you will find that his mental movements are erratic: they have no fixed centre and no definite object. His talk is like the water of a canal whose banks have given way, which rolls aimlessly hither and thither, without fulfilling any useful function, though it is the same water which was so helpful and serviceable, when it was confined within clearly marked limits by the restraining force of its earthy boundaries.”

“My dear if you could give me a cup of tea to clear my muddle of a head I should better understand your affairs.”
