"No soul of high estate can take..." - Quote by Blaise Pascal

“If we dreamed the same thing every night, it would affect us much as the objects we see every day. And if a common workman were sure to dream every night for twelve hours that he was a king, I believe he would be almost as happy as a king who should dream every night for twelve hours on end that he was a common workman.”

“When I have occasionally set myself to consider the different distractions of men, the pains and perils to which they expose themselves I have discovered that all the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.”

“If ignorance were bliss, he'd be a blister”

“Listen not to a tale-bearer or slanderer, for he tells thee nothing out of good-will; but as he discovereth of the secrets of others, so he will of thine in turn.”

“To speak evil of any one, unless there is unequivocal proofs of their deserving it, is an injury for which there is no adequate reparation.”

“Calumny is only the noise of madmen.”

“Non- reaction is not weakness, But Strength!”

“Patience is the strength of the weak, impatience is the weakness of the strong.”

“It is the weak man who urges compromise - never the strong man.”
