About This Quote

This quote, by the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal, is inspiring because it serves as the cornerstone of the Christian faith. The Christian gospel teaches that people are not here to pursue worldly pleasures, but to seek their greatest joy in heaven. The idea is that our earthly existence is not only short compared to eternity, but that this life does not even begin to prepare us for what lies ahead. Instead, our struggle here on Earth should be a way to learn how to love God more completely.
