Pensees
by
Blaise Pascal

"Men despise religion; they hate it and fear it is true. To remedy this, we must begin by showing that religion is not contrary to reason; that it is venerable, to inspire respect for it; then we must make it lovable, to make good men hope it is true; finally, we must prove it is true.

Venerable, because it has perfect knowledge of man; lovable because it promises the true good. In every dialogue and discourse, we must be able to say to those who take offence, 'Of what do you complain?'"

Scientist, mathematician, inventor. Pascal approximated the science of Calculus before its discovery by Newton. He also invented the calculator. His work is part of the science which led to the modern day computer and the internet.
