Strana 214 - I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
Strana 120 - Reason is natural revelation, whereby the eternal Father of light, and fountain of all knowledge, communicates to mankind that portion of truth which he has laid within the reach of their natural faculties. Revelation is natural reason enlarged by a new set of discoveries, communicated by God immediately, which reason vouches the truth of, by the testimony and proofs it gives, that they come from God...
Strana 457 - Not that I speak in respect of want ; for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound : everywhere, and in all things, I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me.
Strana 61 - L'an de grâce 1654, Lundi, 23 novembre, jour de saint Clément, pape et martyr, et autres au martyrologe, Veille de saint Chrysogone, martyr, et autres, Depuis environ dix heures et demie du soir jusques environ minuit et demi, Feu.
Strana 120 - ... a new set of discoveries communicated by God immediately; which reason vouches the truth of, by the testimony and proofs it gives that they come from God. So that he that takes away reason to make way for revelation, puts out the light of both, and does muchwhat the same as if he would persuade a man to put out his eyes, the better to receive the remote light of an invisible star by a telescope.
Strana 61 - Oubli du monde et de tout, hormis Dieu. Il ne se trouve que par les voies enseignées dans l'Évangile. Grandeur de l'âme humaine. Père juste, le monde ne t'a point connu, mais je t'ai connu.
Strana 433 - Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
Strana 112 - Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature , but he is a thinking reed The entire universe need not arm itself to crush him. A vapour, a drop of water suffices to kill him But, if the universe were to crush him, man would still be more noble than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him, the universe knows nothing of this.
Strana 84 - ... stern discipline of Port Royal condemned her poetic powers, which had displayed themselves at a very early age, to life-long inaction. And Pascal himself was so deeply convinced that his niece had been cured by a supernatural interposition of Providence, that he caused to be engraved upon his seal an Eye, surrounded by a crown of thorns, with the motto,
Strana 62 - Soumission totale à Jésus-Christ et à mon directeur. Eternellement en joie pour un jour d'exercice sur la terre. Non obliviscar sermones tuos. Amen.
