Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) was a French Catholic mathematician, physicist, and philosopher. He co-invented calculators, contributed to the field of fluid dynamics, and proposed an argument for belief in God now called "Pascal's Wager."


If you gain, you gain all. If you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then, without hesitation, that [God] exists.

In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.
