"Faith is different from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God"
- Blaise Pascal
About this Quote
Blaise Pascal's quote asserts that faith and evidence are 2 various things. Proof originates from humans, it is the result of gathering evidence and presenting it as a sensible argument. Faith, on the other hand, is a present from God. It is an intangible sense of belief and rely on the divine, the mysterious and the unprovable. It needs no evidence, nor does it need reasoning, as it is a self-evident feeling within one's heart. This quote acknowledges the inescapable constraint of human intelligence and highlights the significance of faith in spiritual devotion. It encourages us to embrace and treasure the present of faith that can provide convenience and guarantee even in the presence of unpredictability.

"Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future"
