All things can be deadly to us, even the things made to serve us; as in nature walls can kill us, and stairs can kill us, if we do not walk circumspectly.

Blaise Pascal
About This Quote

The thing many people make the mistake of is using all things like walls and stairs to their own benefit when they do not need them. This can cause problems in our lives when we are unaware of the fact that certain things can kill us if we do not use them correctly. Walls and stairs are there for protection, but people use them for their own personal gain. Similarly, nature has an amazing power that can harm us if we do not use it wisely. It is important that we learn to understand nature so that we can learn how to appreciate its power before it is too late.
