"يوجد نوعان فقط من الرجال؛ الأبرار الذين يعتقدون أنهم خطاة والخطاة الذين يعتقدون أنهم أبرار."
— Blaise Pascal

Simplified Meaning:
Some people do good things but still believe they make mistakes or have flaws. These are the people who are humble and always trying to improve themselves. On the other hand, there are people who do bad things but believe they are perfect and never wrong. They are often too proud to see their own mistakes. For example, consider a student who studies hard but feels they can always do better. This student stays humble and keeps improving. Another student hardly studies, cheats in exams, but thinks they are the best. They never see the need to get better because they think they are already perfect. The lesson here is to stay aware of your flaws and strive to be better, instead of thinking you have no room to improve.
