Boast Quote by Blaise Pascal
![“[Unbelievers] think they have made great efforts to get at the truth when they have spent a few hours in reading some book out of Holy Scripture, and have questioned some cleric about the truths of the faith. After that, they boast that they have searched in books and among men in vain.” quote by Blaise Pascal](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b99/blaise-pascal-167_boast_unbelievers-think-they-have-made-great-e_1830192.jpg)
