“If there is a God, He is infinitely incomprehensible, since, having, neither parts nor limits, He has no affinity to us. We are then incapable of knowing either what He is or if He is. So you must wager. Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that God is. Let us estimate these two chances. If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then without hesitation that he is.”
Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher, 1623 – 1662)
“Imagination magnifies small objects with fantastic exaggeration until they fill our soul, and with bold insolence cuts down great things to its own size, as when speaking of God.”
Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher, 1623 – 1662)
“When one works and imagines and dreams of nothing else than the search for answers that God has posed, it is difficult to be so still.”
Louis Pasteur (Chemist, Microbiologist, 1822 – 1895)
“There is a time in every man’s life when he looks to his God, when he looks at his life, when he wonders how he will be remembered.”
Louis Pasteur (Chemist, Microbiologist, 1822 – 1895)
“Posterity will one day laugh at the sublime foolishness of the modern materialistic philosophy. The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. I pray while I am engaged at my work in the laboratory.”
Louis Pasteur (Chemist, Microbiologist, 1822 – 1895)
“Question your priorities often, make sure God always come first.”
Louis Pasteur (Chemist, Microbiologist, 1822 – 1895)
“Little science takes you away from God but more of it takes you to Him.”
Louis Pasteur (Chemist, Microbiologist, 1822 – 1895)
What a wonderful thing it is to be sure of one’s faith! How wonderful to be a member of the evangelical church, which preaches the free grace of God through Christ as the hope of sinners! If we were to rely on our works-my God, what would become of us?
George Frideric Handel (Composer, 1685 – 1759)
Straightaway the ideas flow in upon me, directly from God.
Johannes Brahms (Composer, 1833 – 1897)
In my study I can lay my hand on the Bible in the pitch dark. All truly inspired ideas come from God. The powers from which all truly great composers like Mozart, Schubert, Bach and Beethoven drew their inspirations is the same power that enabled Jesus to do his miracles.
Johannes Brahms (Composer, 1833 – 1897)
