Infinite Cardinal

Famous quotes containing the words infinite and/or cardinal:

    When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant and which know me not, I am frightened and am astonished at being here rather than there. For there is no reason why here rather than there, why now rather than then.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    Distrust all those who love you extremely upon a very slight acquaintance, and without any visible reason. Be upon your guard, too, against those who confess, as their weaknesses, all the cardinal virtues.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
