Reflections on Tough Times 3


The great and the humble have the same misfortunes, the same griefs, the same passions; but the one is at the top of the wheel and the other near the center and so less disturbed by the same revolutions. Blaise Pascal

Because the humble recognizes their need for God, their default is “Everything is needful that God sends ( even the toughest of times); nothing is needful that God withholds,” and so are “less disturbed by the same revolutions.”
