More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Nature, which alone is good, is wholly familiar and common.
Blaise Pascal
Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.
Blaise Pascal
To deny, to believe, and to doubt well, are to a man what the race is to a horse.
Blaise Pascal
All err the more dangerously because each follows a truth. Their mistake lies not in following a falsehood but in not following another truth.
Blaise Pascal
All the good maxims which are in the world fail when applied to one's self.
Blaise Pascal
The heart has arguments with which the logic of mind is not aquainted.
Blaise Pascal
Great and small suffer the same mishaps.
Blaise Pascal
To make a man a saint, it must indeed be by grace and whoever doubts this does not know what a saint is, or a man.
Blaise Pascal
All the dignity of man consists in thought. Thought is therefore by its nature a wonderful and incomparable thing. It must have strange defects to be contemptible. But it has such, so that nothing is more ridiculous. How great it is in its nature! How vile it is in its defects! But what is this thought? How foolish it is!
Blaise Pascal
The great mass of people judge well of things, for they are in natural ignorance, which is man's true state.
Blaise Pascal
The war existing between the senses and reason.
Blaise Pascal
In difficult times carry something beautiful in your heart.
Blaise Pascal
To find recreation in amusements is not happiness for this joy springs from alien and extrinsic sources, and is therefore dependent upon and subject to interruption by a thousand accidents, which may minister inevitable affliction.
Blaise Pascal
At the centre of every human being is a God-shaped vacuum which can only be filled by Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness... and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse him.
Blaise Pascal
Voluptuousness, like justice, is blind, but that is the only resemblance between them.
Blaise Pascal
We do not worry about being respected in towns through which we pass. But if we are going to remain in one for a certain time, we do worry. How long does this time have to be?
Blaise Pascal
All this visible world is but an imperceptible point in the ample bosom of nature.
Blaise Pascal
Those are weaklings who know the truth and uphold it as long as it suits their purpose, and then abandon it.
Blaise Pascal
Man is so made that by continually telling him he is a fool he believes it, and by continually telling it to himself he makes himself believe it. For man holds an inward talk with himself, which it pays him to regulate.
Blaise Pascal
