Quote of the Day (Pascal)

“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.”—Blaise Pascal
(The French mathematician-philosopher, born on this date in 1623, presented this famous logical deduction in his Pensees. To me, it is so inspiring because it is so simple and so irrefutable.)
