Quote by Blaise Pascal
Things which have most hold on us, as the concealment of our few possessions, are often a mere nothing. It is a nothing which our imagination magnifies into a mountain.
Summary
This quote suggests that the things that hold the most power over us, such as our desire to hide our few possessions, are often insignificant. Our imagination tends to exaggerate their importance, making them appear much greater than they truly are. In this way, we create an illusion of their significance, allowing them to control us more than necessary. The quote challenges us to question the power we give to material possessions and reminds us that sometimes what we perceive as mountains are merely molehills.
