Image
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
Image
When we see an effect happen always in the same manner, we infer that it takes place by a natural necessity as, for instance, that the sun will rise to morrow but nature often deceives us, and will not submit to its own rules.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The serene, silent beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world, next to the night of God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Each one is all in all to himself for being dead, all is dead to him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
To deny, to believe, and to doubt well, are to a man what the race is to a horse.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Since we cannot be universal and know all that is to be known of everything, we ought to know a little about everything. For it is far better to know something about everything than to know all about one thing. This universality is the best. If we can have both, still better but if we must choose, we ought to choose the former.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Beauty is a harmonious relation between something in our nature and the quality of the object which delights us.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The God of the infinite is the God of the infinitesimal.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nature, which alone is good, is wholly familiar and common.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Even those who write against fame wish for the fame of having written well, and those who read their works desire the fame of having read them.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Making fun of philosophy is really philosophising.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
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
Not to be mad is another form of madness
Blaise Pascal
Image
We know then the existence and nature of the finite, because we also are finite and have extension. We know the existence of the infinite and are ignorant of its nature, because it has extension like us, but not limits like us. But we know neither the existence nor the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Those we call the ancients were really new in everything.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
