More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Things are always at their best in their beginning.
Blaise Pascal
God has given us evidence sufficiently clear to convince those with an open heart and mind.
Blaise Pascal
Everyone, without exception, is searching for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
Even those who write against fame wish for the fame of having written well, and those who read their works desire the fame of having read them.
Blaise Pascal
Words differently arranged have a different meaning, and meanings differently arranged have different effects.
Blaise Pascal
You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend.
Blaise Pascal
Curiosity is nothing more than vanity. More often than not we only seek knowledge to show it off.
Blaise Pascal
Force rules the world-not opinion but it is opinion that makes use of force.
Blaise Pascal
For as old age is that period of life most remote from infancy, who does not see that old age in this universal man ought not to be sought in the times nearest his birth, but in those most remote from it?
Blaise Pascal
There are two equally dangerous extremes-to shut reason out, and to let nothing else in.
Blaise Pascal
Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?
Blaise Pascal
We must know where to doubt, where to feel certain, where to submit. He who does not do so, understands not the force of reason.
Blaise Pascal
All our dignity lies in our thoughts.
Blaise Pascal
Human life is thus only an endless illusion. Men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does when we are gone. Society is based on mutual hypocrisy.
Blaise Pascal
The heart has arguments with which the logic of mind is not aquainted.
Blaise Pascal
The two principles of truth, reason and senses, are not only both not genuine, but are engaged in mutual deception. The senses deceive reason through false appearances, and the senses are disturbed by passions, which produce false impressions.
Blaise Pascal
True eloquence scorns eloquence.
Blaise Pascal
To go beyond the bounds of moderation is to outrage humanity. The greatness of the human soul is shown by knowing how to keep within proper bounds. There are two equally dangerous extremes- to shut reason out, and not to let nothing in.
Blaise Pascal
Distraction is the only thing that consoles us for our miseries. Yet it is itself the greatest of our miseries.
Blaise Pascal
Dans une grande a me tout est grand. In a great soul everything isgreat.
Blaise Pascal
