I said I came across some quotes, not that I fact-checked them...
I see plenty of sources attributing the quote to either man, and given that Blaise Pascal lived 300 years before Richard Jeni, I'd go with Pascal...
I really don't care who said it first... it's a good quote

Besides, don't we have a thread somewhere that hook-nosed people are evil?
You're nowhere near the point that we're discussing.
