Blaise Pascal

French - Philosopher June 19, 1623 - August 19, 1662

With the author

Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.

Blaise Pascal

Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed.

Blaise Pascal

Our nature consists in motion; complete rest is death.

Blaise Pascal

Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world.

Blaise Pascal

The strength of a man's virtue should not be measured by his special exertions, but by his habitual acts.

Blaise Pascal

The eternal silence of these infinite spaces frightens me.

Blaise Pascal

Chance gives rise to thoughts, and chance removes them; no art can keep or acquire them.

Blaise Pascal

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

Sometimes in life, your best teacher is experience and going through something to figure it out.

I think that the point of being an architect is to help raise the experience of everyday living, even a little. Putting a window where people would really like one. Making sure a shaving mirror in a hotel bathroom is at the right angle. Making bureaucratic buildings that are somehow cheerful.

David Chipperfield

Apple is the only company that can take hardware, software, and services and integrate those into an experience that's an 'aha' for the customer. You can take that and apply to markets that we're not in today.

Tim Cook

I have to say it was a very good start, a very good first season. I enjoyed it a lot, scored good points and gained a lot of experience.

Max Verstappen

The world has today 546 nuclear plants generating electricity. Their experience is being continuously researched, and feedback should be provided to all. Nuclear scientists have to interact with the people of the nation, and academic institutions continuously update nuclear power generation technology and safety.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Everything is a learning experience, both good and bad that happen to you. You take what happens and learn from it. That's how I look at everything, the good and bad. You learn about it, and you improve.

Markelle Fultz

The story of my life is the Chicano experience personified.

Cedric Bixler-Zavala

I've never been much of a craftsman, in an educated way. But I think just the experience of writing makes the avenues I follow a little more efficient in some ways. At the same time, when you're young, you're a little more fearless, and there's less of an internal critic.
