Love or hate alters the aspect of justice. How much greater confidence… — Pensées

Pensées — Blaise Pascal

Love or hate alters the aspect of justice. How much greater confidence has an advocate, retained with a large fee, in the justice of his cause! How much better does his bold manner make his case appear to the judges, deceived as they are by appearances! How ludicrous is reason, blown with a breath in every direction!
