Image
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
Image
If man were happy, he would be the more so, the less he was diverted, like the saints and God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The multitude which is not brought to act as a unity, is confusion. That unity which has not its origin in the multitude is tyranny.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Brave deeds are wasted when hidden.
Blaise Pascal
Image
No soul of high estate can take pleasure in slander. It betrays a weakness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Christianity is strange. It bids man recognise that he is vile, even abominable, and bids him desire to be like God. Without such a counterpoise, this dignity would make him horribly vain, or this humiliation would make him terribly abject.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We are so presumptuous that we wish to be known to all the world, even to those who come after us and we are so vain that the esteem of five or six persons immediately around us is enough to amuse and satisfy us.
Blaise Pascal
Image
He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
Blaise Pascal
Image
When we wish to correct with advantage, and to show another that he errs, we must notice from what side he views the matter, for on that side it is usually true.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All mankind's troubles are caused by one single thing, which is their inability to sit quietly.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man's true nature being lost, everything becomes his nature as, his true good being lost, everything becomes his good.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Death is easier to bear without thinking of it, than the thought of death without peril.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The Christian's God does not merely consist of a God who is the Author of mathematical truths and the order of the elements. The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of the Christians, is a God of love and consolation.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Evil is easy, and has infinite forms.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Everyone, without exception, is searching for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Desire and force between them are responsible for all our actions desire causes our voluntary acts, force our involuntary.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All men are almost led to believe not of proof, but by attraction. This way is base, ignoble, and irrelevant every one therefore disavows it. Each one professes to believe and even to love nothing but what he knows to be worthy of belief and love.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is right that what is just should be obeyed. It is necessary that what is strongest should be obeyed.
Blaise Pascal
