Pascal...

"It is not man's nature always to go in one direction; it has its ups and downs. Fever makes us both shiver and sweat. The chill is as good an indication of how high the fever will go as the heat itself."

"Nothing strengthens the case for scepticism more than the fact that there are people who are not sceptics. If they all were, they would be wrong."

"One must know oneself. Even if that does not help in finding the truth, it at least helps in running one's life, and nothing is more proper."

All good. I deeply agree with number 3... see Socrates's 'Know thyself.' If that isn't a good philosophy, what is?
