More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Education produces natural intuitions, and natural intuitions are erased by education.
Blaise Pascal
All of our miseries prove our greatness. They are the miseries of a dethroned monarch.
Blaise Pascal
Everything that is written merely to please the author is worthless.
Blaise Pascal
Passion cannot be beautiful without excess one either loves too much or not enough.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
All evil stems from this-that we do. Know how to handle your solitude.
Blaise Pascal
Our imagination so magnifies this present existence, by the power of continual reflection on it, and so attenuates eternity, by not thinking of it at all, that we reduce an eternity to nothingness, and expand a mere nothing to an eternity and this habit is so inveterately rooted in us that all the force of reason cannot induce us to lay it aside.
Blaise Pascal
I take it as a matter not to be disputed, that if all knew what each said of the other, there would not be four friends in the world. This seems proved by the quarrels and disputes caused by the disclosures which are occasionally made.
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 imagination disposes of everything. It creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are the whole of the world.
Blaise Pascal
Men often take their imagination for their heart and they believe they are converted as soon as they think of being converted.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination is the deceptive part in man, the mistress of error and falsehood.
Blaise Pascal
The gospel to me is simply irresistible.
Blaise Pascal
If we regulate our conduct according to our own convictions, we may safely disregard the praise or censure of others.
Blaise Pascal
Justice is what is established and thus all our established laws will necessarily be regarded as just without examination, since they are established.
Blaise Pascal
Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.
Blaise Pascal
Any unity which doesn't have its origin in the multitudes is tyranny.
Blaise Pascal
In each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious.
Blaise Pascal
