More quotes by Blaise Pascal
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason.
Blaise Pascal
Those great efforts of intellect, upon which the mind sometimes touches, are such that it cannot maintain itself there. It only leaps to them, not as upon a throne, forever, but merely for an instant.
Blaise Pascal
Habit is a second nature, which destroys the first.
Blaise Pascal
The property of power is to protect.
Blaise Pascal
Death is easier to bear without thinking of it, than the thought of death without peril.
Blaise Pascal
We do not content ourselves with the life we have in ourselves and in our being we desire to live an imaginary life in the mind of others, and for this purpose we endeavor to shine. We labor unceasingly to adorn and preserve this imaginary existence and neglect the real.
Blaise Pascal
Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.
Blaise Pascal
The imagination enlarges little objects so as to fill our souls with a fantastic estimate and, with rash insolence, it belittles the great to its own measure, as when talking of God.
Blaise Pascal
It is your own assent to yourself, and the constant voice of your own reason, and not of others, that should make you believe.
Blaise Pascal
Man is nothing but insincerity, falsehood, and hypocrisy, both in regard to himself and in regard to others. He does not wish that he should be told the truth, he shuns saying it to others and all these moods, so inconsistent with justice and reason, have their roots in his heart.
Blaise Pascal
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
Ugly deeds are most estimable when hidden.
Blaise Pascal
Symmetry is what we see at a glance based on the fact that there is no reason for any difference.
Blaise Pascal
By thought I embrace the universe.
Blaise Pascal
The majority is the best way, because it is visible, and has strength to make itself obeyed. Yet it is the opinion of the least able.
Blaise Pascal
The weakness of human reason appears more evidently in those who know it not than in those who know it.
Blaise Pascal
If a man is not made for God, why is he happy only in God?
Blaise Pascal
What reason have atheists for saying that we cannot rise again? That what has never been, should be, or that what has been, should be again? Is it more difficult to come into being than to return to it.
Blaise Pascal
Not to be mad is another form of madness
Blaise Pascal
Nature, which alone is good, is wholly familiar and common.
Blaise Pascal
