Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.
Blaise Pascal
It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have all one wants.
Blaise Pascal
Mankind suffers from two excesses: to exclude reason, and to live by nothing but reason.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Force and not opinion is the queen of the world but it is opinion that uses the force. [Fr., La force est la reine du monde, et non pas l'opinion mais l'opinion est celle qui use de la force.]
Blaise Pascal
The end point of rationality is to demonstrate the limits of rationality.

Blaise Pascal
Education produces natural intuitions, and natural intuitions are erased by education.
Blaise Pascal
A few rules include all that is necessary for the perfection of the definitions, the axioms, and the demonstrations, and consequently of the entire method of the geometrical proofs of the art of persuading.
Blaise Pascal
Dans une grande a me tout est grand. In a great soul everything isgreat.
Blaise Pascal
Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.
Blaise Pascal
Each one is all in all to himself for being dead, all is dead to him.
