The stream is always purer at its source.
Les choses valent toujours mieux dans leur source.

More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Christian piety annihilates the egotism of the heart; worldly politeness veils and represses it.
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it conscientiously.
I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time.
Force and not opinion is the queen of the world; but it is opinion that uses the force.
