Image
It is not only old and early impressions that deceive us the charms of novelty have the same power.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The world is satisfied with words. Few appreciate the things beneath. [Fr., Le monde se paye de paroles peu approfondissement les choses.]
Blaise Pascal
Image
Unless we love the truth we cannot know it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Without the knowledge of our wretchedness, the knowledge of God creates pride. With it, the knowledge of God creates despair. The knowledge of Christ offers a third way, because in him we find both God and our wretchedness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If you believe in God you are at no disadvantage in this life, and at considerable advantage in the next. If you do not believe, but find in the next that there was a next, you are most unfortunate!
Blaise Pascal
Image
I would have far more fear of being mistaken, and of finding that the Christian religion was true, than of not being mistaken in believing it true.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true. The cure for this is first to show that religion is not contrary to reason, but worthy of reverence and respect. Next make it attractive, make good men wish it were true and then show that it is.
Blaise Pascal
Image
At the centre of every human being is a God-shaped vacuum which can only be filled by Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We do not rest satisfied with the present.... So imprudent we are that we wander in the times which are not ours and do not thinkof the only one which belongs to us and so idle are we that we dream of those times which are no more and thoughtlessly overlook that which alone exists. For the present is generally painful to us.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The Christian religion teaches me two points-that there is a God whom men can know, and that their nature is so corrupt that they are unworthy of Him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Any unity which doesn't have its origin in the multitudes is tyranny.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Seeing too much to deny and too little to be sure, I am in a state to be pitied.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The last thing we decide in writing a book is what to put first.
Blaise Pascal
Image
When intuition and logic agree, you are always right.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
When everyone is moving towards depravity, no one seems to be moving, but if someone stops he shows up the others who are rushing on, by acting as a fixed point.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Men often take their imagination for their heart and they believe they are converted as soon as they think of being converted.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The secrets of nature are concealed her agency is perpetual, but we do not always discover its effects time reveals them from age to age and although she is always the same in herself, she is not always equally well known.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To ridicule philosophy is truly philosophical. [Fr., Se moquer de la philosophie c'est vraiment philosophe.]
