About This Quote
This quote is a way of saying that in the end, reason will win over unreason. This is sometimes referred to as Pascal’s wager. The idea is that if we choose to live life in accordance with reason, we will be happy and there will be no regrets. If we choose not to live in accordance with reason, we will regret our decisions and live miserable lives.
