Motivational Quotes

Belief

If we let ourselves believe that man began with divine grace, that he forfeited this by sin, and that he can be redeemed only by divine grace through the crucified Christ, then we shall find peace of mind never granted to philosophers. He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.

- Pascal, Blaise

We act, speak, and think according to these deeply held beliefs and belief systems.
