The heart has its reasons, which Reason does not know. We feel it in a thousand things. It is the heart which feels God, and not Reason. This, then, is perfect faith: God felt in the heart (Blaise Pascal Quotes)
Therefore, those to whom God has imparted religion by intuition are very fortunate and justly convinced. But to those who do not have it, we can give it only by reasoning, waiting for God to give them spiritual insight, without which faith is only human and useless for salvation (Blaise Pascal Quotes)
If it is an extraordinary blindness to live without investigating what we are, it is a terrible one to live an evil life, while believing in God (Blaise Pascal Quotes)
