"All mankind's troubles are caused by one..." - Quote by Blaise Pascal

“The entire ocean is affected by a single pebble.”

“Being unable to cure death, wretchedness, and ignorance, men have decided, in order to be happy, not to think about such things.”

“Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too.”

“Imagination could never invent the number of different contradictions that exist innately in each person's heart.”

“I find the pain of a little censure, even when it is unfounded, is more acute than the pleasure of much praise.”

“I have heard of a man who had a mind to sell his house, and therefore carried a piece of brick in his pocket, which he shewed as a pattern to encourage purchasers.”

“We must move past indecision to action. We must find new ways to speak for peace in Vietnam and for justice throughout the developing world, a world that borders on our doors. If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark, and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight.”

“The armament industry is indeed one of the greatest dangers that beset mankind. It is the hidden evil power.”

“Wars do not end wars any more than an extraordinarily large conflagration does away with the fire hazard.”
