Desire And Force Between Them Are Responsible

Our Imagination So Magnifies This Present Existence, By The Power Of Continual Reflection On It, And So Attenuates Eternity, By Not Thinking Of It At All, That We Reduce An Eternity To Nothingness, And Expand A Mere Nothing To An Eternity; And This Habit Is So Inveterately Rooted In Us That All The Force Of Reason Cannot Induce Us To Lay It Aside.

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.

All Our Reasoning Boils Down To Yielding To Sentiment.

All The Miseries Of Mankind Come From One Thing, Not Knowing How To Remain Alone.

Man Is So Made That If He Is Told Often Enough That He Is A Fool He Believes It.
