Blaise Pascal greatness men sex Evil is easily discovered; there is an infinite variety; good is almost unique.

It needs even a certain greatness of soul to attain to this, as to that which is good. Blaise Pascal greatness unique class To go beyond the bounds of moderation is to outrage humanity. The greatness of the human soul is shown by knowing how to keep within proper bounds. There are two equally dangerous extremes- to shut reason out, and not to let nothing in. Blaise Pascal greatness knowing two Those who profess contempt for men, and put them on a level with beasts, yet wish to be admired and believed by men, and contradict themselves by their own feelings--their nature, which is stronger than all, convincing them of the greatness of man more forcibly than reason convinces them of his baseness.
