The method of not erring is sought by all the world. The logicians profess to guide it, the geometricians alone attain it, and apart from science, and the imitations of it, there are no true demonstrations.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The principles of pleasure are not firm and stable. They are different in all mankind, and variable in every particular with such a diversity that there is no man more different from another than from himself at different times.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
Man's true nature being lost, everything becomes his nature as, his true good being lost, everything becomes his good.
Blaise Pascal
Image
No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.
Blaise Pascal
Image
What matters it that man should have a little more knowledge of the universe? If he has it, he gets little higher. Is he not always infinitely removed from the end, and is not the duration of our life equally removed from eternity, even if it lasts ten years longer?
Blaise Pascal
Image
L'homme n'est qu'un sujet plein d'erreur, naturelle et ineffa c° able sans la gra ce. Man is nothing but a subject full of natural error that cannot be eradicated except through grace.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Our reason is always disappointed by the inconstancy of appearances.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Silence. All human unhappiness comes from not knowing how to stay quietly in a room.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The great mass of people judge well of things, for they are in natural ignorance, which is man's true state.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The only shame is to have none.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The property of power is to protect.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Those who are clever in imagination are far more pleased with themselves than prudent men could reasonably be.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Without the knowledge of our wretchedness, the knowledge of God creates pride. With it, the knowledge of God creates despair. The knowledge of Christ offers a third way, because in him we find both God and our wretchedness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing. We feel it in a thousand things. I say that the heart naturally loves the Universal Being, and naturally loves itself and it gives itself to one or the other, and hardens itself against one or the other, as it chooses...it is the heart that feels God, not the reason this is faith.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Chess is the gymnasium of the mind.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Eloquence is a painting of thought and thus those who, after having painted it, add something more, make a picture instead of a portrait.
