                        Pascal's Testimony
                        ------------------

"I love poverty because He loved it.  I love riches because they afford me
the means of helping the very poor.  I keep faith with everybody; I do not
render evil to those who wrong me, but I wish them a situation like mine,
in which I receive neither good nor evil from men.  I try to be just,
true, sincere, and faithful to all men; I have a tender heart for those to
whom God has more closely united me; and whether I am alone, or seen by
people, I do all my actions in the sight of God, who must judge them, and
to whom I have consecrated them all.  These are my sentiments; and every
day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and
who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of
ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His
grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only
misery and error." 
                                     - Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
