More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.
Blaise Pascal
True eloquence makes light of eloquence, true morality makes light of morality that is to say, the morality of the judgment, which has no rules, makes light of the morality of the intellect.... To make light of philosophy is to be a true philosopher.
Blaise Pascal
If a man is not made for God, why is he happy only in God?
Blaise Pascal
Things are always at their best in their beginning.
Blaise Pascal
No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.
Blaise Pascal
Curiosity is nothing more than vanity. More often than not we only seek knowledge to show it off.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination magnifies small objects with fantastic exaggeration until they fill our soul, and with bold insolence cuts down great things to its own size, as when speaking of God.
Blaise Pascal
If men knew themselves, God would heal and pardon them.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Rivers are roads which move, and which carry us whither we desire to go.
Blaise Pascal
The two principles of truth, reason and senses, are not only both not genuine, but are engaged in mutual deception. The senses deceive reason through false appearances, and the senses are disturbed by passions, which produce false impressions.
Blaise Pascal
L'on a beau se cacher a' soi-me me, l'on aime toujours. We vainly conceal from ourselves the fact that we are always in love.
Blaise Pascal
Evil is easy, and has infinite forms.
Blaise Pascal
Chess is the gymnasium of the mind.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Vanity is so secure in the heart of man that everyone wants to be admired: even I who write this, and you who read this.
Blaise Pascal
Reason's last step is to acknowledge that there are infinitely many things beyond it.
Blaise Pascal
I am in the utmost perplexity, yand have wished a hundred times, that if there is a A God, nature would manifest him without ambiguity, and that if there is not, every imaginary sign of his existence might vanish : in short, let nature speak distinctly, or be totally silent, and I shall know what course to take.
Blaise Pascal
Human beings do not know their place and purpose. They have fallen from their true place, and lost their true purpose. They search everywhere for their place and purpose, with great anxiety. But they cannot find them because they are surrounded by darkness.
Blaise Pascal
If you gain, you gain all if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Blaise Pascal
