Pensees

Animals do not admire each other. A horse does not admire its companions. It is not that they won't race against each other, but this is of no consequence, for, back in the stable, the one who is heavier and clumsier does not on that accoutn give up his oats to the other, as men want others to do to them. With animals virtue is its own reward.


Pensees, Blaise Pascal
1662
