Man lives between the infinitely large and the infinitely small.
Blaise Pascal
Image
How shall one who is so weak in his childhood become really strong when he grows older? We only change our fancies.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
There are plenty of maxims in the world all that remains is to apply them.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Death is easier to bear without thinking of it, than the thought of death without peril.
Blaise Pascal

When I consider the small span of my life absorbed in the eternity of all time, or the small part of space which I can touch or see engulfed by the infinite immensity of spaces that I know not and that know me not, I am frightened and astonished to see myself here instead of there … now instead of then.

Blaise Pascal
Image

Blaise Pascal
Image
May God never abandon me.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Let man then contemplate the whole of nature in her full and grand majesty... No idea approaches it. We may enlarge our conceptions beyond all imaginable space we only produce atoms in comparison with the reality of things. It is an infinite sphere, the center of which is everywhere, the circumference nowhere.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The multitude which does not reduce itself to unity is confusion.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We make an idol of truth itself for truth apart from charity is not God, but His image and idol, which we must neither love nor worship.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Most of man's trouble comes from his inability to be still.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The last thing we decide in writing a book is what to put first.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Evil is easy, and has infinite forms.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Il n'y a que deux sortes d'hommes: les uns justes, qui se croient pe cheurs les autres pe cheurs, qui se croient justes. There are only two types of people: the virtuous who believe themselves to be sinners and the sinners who believe themselves to be virtuous.
Blaise Pascal

All our dignity lies in our thoughts.
