Quote by Blaise Pascal

Our heart has its reasons that reason cannot know.

Our heart has its reasons that reason cannot know.

Summary

This quote by Blaise Pascal suggests that the heart operates in a way that logic or rational thinking cannot fully comprehend. It implies that there are emotions, desires, or motivations within us that are driven by something deeper, beyond the realm of reason. It recognizes that our heart - symbolizing our emotional and intuitive self - has its own wisdom and drives that are distinct from the logical faculties of our mind. Essentially, it highlights the notion that certain aspects of human existence and decision-making transcend pure reason and can only be grasped through the heart.

So I was ugly. I was never fat, really, and I never wore headgear or had zits or anything. But I was ugly. I don't even know how ugly and pretty get decided - maybe there's like a secret cabal of boys who meet in the locker room and decide who's ugly and who's hot, because as far as I can remember, there was no such thing as a hot fourth-grader. - Lindsey Lee Wells

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with HimForever in the next.

Always! That is a dreadful word. It makes me shudder when I hear it. Women are so fond of using it. They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever. It is a meaningless word, too. The only difference between a caprice and a life-long passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer.
