Your true amateur sips his wine; as he lingers over each separate mouthful, he obtains from each the sum total of pleasure that he would have experienced had he emptied his glass at a single draught.

Another quote originally in French

God is, or He is not. But to which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here. There is an infinite chaos which separates us. A game is being played at the extremity of this infinite distance where heads or tails will turn up. What will you wager?... If you win, you win everything; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation that He is.

Blaise Pascal
