La morale
In our translation, Pensees Fragment 697 ends with the word “morals.” The sentence reads, “The harbour is the judge of those aboard ship, but where are we going to find a harbour in morals?”
We wanted to know what French word in Pascal’s original is translated as “morals.” The French is “la morale,” which translates to “morality” or “ethics.”
Here's a link to a transcription and a facsimile of the original manuscript:
