<div class="pgmonospaced pgheader"><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Pascal's Pensées, by Blaise Pascal<br/><br/>*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK PASCAL'S PENSÉES ***<br/><br/>***** This file should be named 18269-h.htm or 18269-h.zip *****<br/>This and all associated files of various formats will be found in:<br/>        http://www.gutenberg.org/1/8/2/6/18269/<br/><br/>Produced by John Hagerson, LN Yaddanapudi, Juliet Sutherland<br/>and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at<br/>http://www.pgdp.net<br/><br/><br/>Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions<br/>will be renamed.<br/><br/>Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no<br/>one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation<br/>(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without<br/>permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,<br/>set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to<br/>copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to<br/>protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project<br/>Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you<br/>charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you<br/>do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the<br/>rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose<br/>such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and<br/>research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do<br/>practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks.  Redistribution is<br/>subject to the trademark license, especially commercial<br/>redistribution.<br/><br/><br/><br/>*** START: FULL LICENSE ***<br/><br/>THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE<br/>PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK<br/><br/>To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free<br/>distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work<br/>(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project<br/>Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project<br/>Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at<br/>http://gutenberg.org/license).<br/><br/><br/>Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm<br/>electronic works<br/><br/>1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm<br/>electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to<br/>and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property<br/>(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all<br/>the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy<br/>all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.<br/>If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project<br/>Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the<br/>terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or<br/>entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.<br/><br/>1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be<br/>used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who<br/>agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few<br/>things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works<br/>even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See<br/>paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project<br/>Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement<br/>and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic<br/>works.  See paragraph 1.E below.<br/><br/>1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"<br/>or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project<br/>Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the<br/>collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an<br/>individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are<br/>located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from<br/>copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative<br/>works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg<br/>are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project<br/>Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by<br/>freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of<br/>this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with<br/>the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by<br/>keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project<br/>Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.<br/><br/>1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern<br/>what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in<br/>a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check<br/>the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement<br/>before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or<br/>creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project<br/>Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning<br/>the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United<br/>States.<br/><br/>1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:<br/><br/>1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate<br/>access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently<br/>whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the<br/>phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project<br/>Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,<br/>copied or distributed:<br/><br/>This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with<br/>almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or<br/>re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included<br/>with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org<br/><br/>1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived<br/>from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is<br/>posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied<br/>and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees<br/>or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work<br/>with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the<br/>work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1<br/>through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the<br/>Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or<br/>1.E.9.<br/><br/>1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted<br/>with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution<br/>must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional<br/>terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked<br/>to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the<br/>permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.<br/><br/>1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm<br/>License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this<br/>work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.<br/><br/>1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this<br/>electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without<br/>prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with<br/>active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project<br/>Gutenberg-tm License.<br/><br/>1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,<br/>compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any<br/>word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or<br/>distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than<br/>"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version<br/>posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),<br/>you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a<br/>copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon<br/>request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other<br/>form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm<br/>License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.<br/><br/>1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,<br/>performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works<br/>unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.<br/><br/>1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing<br/>access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided<br/>that<br/><br/>- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from<br/>     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method<br/>     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is<br/>     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he<br/>     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the<br/>     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments<br/>     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you<br/>     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax<br/>     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and<br/>     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the<br/>     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to<br/>     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."<br/><br/>- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies<br/>     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he<br/>     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm<br/>     License.  You must require such a user to return or<br/>     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium<br/>     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of<br/>     Project Gutenberg-tm works.<br/><br/>- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any<br/>     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the<br/>     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days<br/>     of receipt of the work.<br/><br/>- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free<br/>     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.<br/><br/>1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm<br/>electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set<br/>forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from<br/>both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael<br/>Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the<br/>Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.<br/><br/>1.F.<br/><br/>1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable<br/>effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread<br/>public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm<br/>collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic<br/>works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain<br/>"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or<br/>corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual<br/>property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a<br/>computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by<br/>your equipment.<br/><br/>1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right<br/>of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project<br/>Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project<br/>Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project<br/>Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all<br/>liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal<br/>fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT<br/>LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE<br/>PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE<br/>TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE<br/>LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR<br/>INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH<br/>DAMAGE.<br/><br/>1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a<br/>defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can<br/>receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a<br/>written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you<br/>received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with<br/>your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with<br/>the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a<br/>refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity<br/>providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to<br/>receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy<br/>is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further<br/>opportunities to fix the problem.<br/><br/>1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth<br/>in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER<br/>WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO<br/>WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.<br/><br/>1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied<br/>warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.<br/>If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the<br/>law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be<br/>interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by<br/>the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any<br/>provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.<br/><br/>1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the<br/>trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone<br/>providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance<br/>with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,<br/>promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,<br/>harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,<br/>that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do<br/>or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm<br/>work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any<br/>Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.<br/><br/><br/>Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm<br/><br/>Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of<br/>electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers<br/>including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists<br/>because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from<br/>people in all walks of life.<br/><br/>Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the<br/>assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's<br/>goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will<br/>remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project<br/>Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure<br/>and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.<br/>To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation<br/>and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4<br/>and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.<br/><br/><br/>Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive<br/>Foundation<br/><br/>The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit<br/>501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the<br/>state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal<br/>Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification<br/>number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at<br/>http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby<br/>     Chief Executive and Director<br/>     gbnewby@pglaf.org<br/><br/><br/>Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg<br/>Literary Archive Foundation<br/><br/>Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide<br/>spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of<br/>increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be<br/>freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest<br/>array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations<br/>($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt<br/>status with the IRS.<br/><br/>The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating<br/>charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United<br/>States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a<br/>considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up<br/>with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations<br/>where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To<br/>SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any<br/>particular state visit http://pglaf.org<br/><br/>While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we<br/>have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition<br/>against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who<br/>approach us with offers to donate.<br/><br/>International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make<br/>any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from<br/>outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.<br/><br/>Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation<br/>methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other<br/>ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.<br/>To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate<br/><br/><br/>Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic<br/>works.<br/><br/>Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm<br/>concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared<br/>with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project<br/>Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.<br/><br/><br/>Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed<br/>editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.<br/>unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily<br/>keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.<br/><br/><br/>Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:<br/><br/>     http://www.gutenberg.org<br/><br/>This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,<br/>including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary<br/>Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to<br/>subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.<br/><br/><br/></div>
