More From Blaise Pascal

Love will never be anywhere except where equality and unity are..... and there can be no love where love does not find equality or is not busy creating equality. nor is there any pleasure without equality. practice equality in human society. learn to love, esteem, consider all people like yourself. what happens to another, be it bad or good, pain or joy, ought to be as if it happened to you.
Pain Practice Creating
A society that puts equality - in the sense of equality of outcome - ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality or freedom. the use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom. on the other hand, a society that puts freedom first will, as a happy by-product, end up with both greater freedom and greater equality. freedom means diversity but also mobility. it preserves the opportunity for today's less well off to become tomorrow's rich, and in the process, enables almost everyone, from top to bottom, to enjoy a richer and fuller life.
Mean Opportunity Hands
Undoubtedly equality of goods is just; but, being unable to cause might to obey justice, men has made it just to obey might. unable to strengthen justice, they have justified might--so that the just and the strong should unite, and there should be peace, which is the sovereign good.
Strong Power Men
The diversity of mankind is a basic postulate of our knowledge of human beings. but if mankind is diverse and individuated, then how can anyone propose equality as an ideal? every year, scholars hold conferences on equality and call for greater equality, and no one challenges the basic tenet. but what justification can equality find in the nature of man? if each individual is unique, how else can he be made 'equal' to others than by destroying most of what is human in him and reducing human society to the mindless uniformity of the ant heap?
Unique Men Years
Whenever women have insisted on absolute equality with men, they have invariably wound up with the dirty end of the stick. what they are and what they can do makes them superior to men, and their proper tactic is to demand special privileges, all the traffic will bear. they should never settle merely for equality. for women, "equality" is a disaster.
Dirty Men Special
There is no such thing as equality, other than of opportunity and before the law. but there is no equality of what's gonna happen to you when you engage or pursue your opportunity, and there's no guarantee that's what's gonna happen to you once you have your equality before the law. there is no equality of outcome.
Opportunity Guarantees That Law

I often feel like saying, when i hear the question 'people aren't ready,' that it's like telling a person who is trying to swim, 'don't jump in that water until you learn how to swim.' when actually you will never learn how to swim until you get in the water. and i think people have to have an opportunity to develop themselves and govern themselves.
