Blaise Pascal — "It is good to be tired. It is good to be weary. It is good to be ill. It is good…"

It is good to be tired. It is good to be weary. It is good to be ill. It is good to be hungry. It is good to be thirsty. It is good to be cold. It is good to be hot. It is good to be in pain. It is good to be in prison. It is good to be in exile. It is good to be in disgrace. It is good to be in danger. It is good to be in fear. It is good to be in poverty. It is good to be in want. It is good to be in sorrow. It is good to be in tribulation. It is good to be in temptation. It is good to be in desolation. It is good to be in darkness. It is good to be in confusion. It is good to be in doubt. It is good to be in error. It is good to be in sin. It is good to be in hell.
