Our intellect holds the same position in the world of thought as our body occupies in the expanse of nature.

Blaise Pascal
About This Quote

The idea that our intellect holds the same position in the world of thought as our body occupies in the expanse of nature has been a topic of debate for centuries. People have often asked themselves if we ought to take control of our thoughts and use them to make better decisions. Does it really matter if we think negatively? The reality is that there is no doubt that we can control our emotions and thoughts and use them to make better decisions. Our intellect is an important part of who we are, and we can use it to make better decisions.

However, it’s not something which should be taken for granted. If we don’t use it well, or if we become lazy about it, it may not be such a good thing after all.
