A thought provoking collection of Creative Quotations from Blaise Pascal (1623-1662); born on Jun 19. French mathematician, physicist, theologian; He formulated the modern theory of probability and Pascal's law of fluid pressure.
"There are only three types of people; those who have found God and serve him; those who have not found God and seek him, and those who live not seeking, or finding him. The first are rational and happy; the second unhappy and rational, and the third foolish and unhappy."

One of my favourite Pascal quotes:
"If our condition were truly happy we would not have to take our minds off thinking about it in order to make ourselves happy"

I might as well contribute.
"When a soldier complains of his hard life (or a labourer, etc.) try giving him nothing to do."
"Happiness is neither outside nor inside us: it is in God, both outside and inside us." And I guess I have room for one more...
"No one is so happy as a true Christian, or so reasonable, virtuous, and lovable."

One of the coolest guys that ever lived!
An inspiration to me every day.
They left out this quote about Pascal's views on marriage:
"the lowest of the conditions of life permitted to a Christian."
I will never forget it.
