More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Religion is so great a thing that it is right that those who will not take the trouble to seek it if it be obscure, should be deprived of it.
Blaise Pascal
Human beings do not know their place and purpose. They have fallen from their true place, and lost their true purpose. They search everywhere for their place and purpose, with great anxiety. But they cannot find them because they are surrounded by darkness.
Blaise Pascal
Nature, which alone is good, is wholly familiar and common.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination cannot make fools wise, but it makes them happy, as against reason, which only makes its friends wretched: one covers them with glory, the other with shame.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
The only shame is to have none.
Blaise Pascal
Instinct teaches us to look for happiness outside ourselves.
Blaise Pascal
Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.
Blaise Pascal
We know truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.
Blaise Pascal
