Each one is all in all to himself for being dead, all is dead to him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Rivers are roads which move, and which carry us whither we desire to go.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man is so made that if he is told often enough that he is a fool he believes it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Truly it is an evil to be full of faults but it is a still greater evil to be full of them and to be unwilling to recognize them, since that is to add the further fault of a voluntary illusion.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is not shameful for a man to succumb to pain and it is shameful to succumb to pleasure.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Do little things as if they were great, because of the majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ who dwells in thee.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All err the more dangerously because each follows a truth. Their mistake lies not in following a falsehood but in not following another truth.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Just as all things speak about God to those that know Him, and reveal Him to those that love Him, they also hide Him from all those that neither seek nor know Him.
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
Continuous eloquence wearies. Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Those who do not hate their own selfishness and regard themselves as more important than the rest of the world are blind because the truth lies elsewhere
Blaise Pascal
Image
God has given us evidence sufficiently clear to convince those with an open heart and mind.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We are fools to depend upon the society of our fellow-men. Wretched as we are, powerless as we are, they will not aid us we shall die alone.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To deny, to believe, and to doubt well, are to a man what the race is to a horse.
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
Human life is thus only a perpetual illusion men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does of us in our absence. Human society is founded on mutual deceit few friendships would endure if each knew what his friend said of him in his absence, although he then spoke in sincerity and without passion.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Flies are so mighty that they win battles, paralyse our minds, eat up our bodies.
Blaise Pascal
Image
This is what I see, and what troubles me. I look on all sides, and everywhere I see nothing but obscurity. Nature offers me nothing that is not a matter of doubt and disquiet.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Rivers are roads that move and carry us whither we wish to go. [Fr., Les rivieres sont des chemins qui marchant et qui portent ou l'on veut aller.]
Blaise Pascal
