More quotes by Blaise Pascal
There are two equally dangerous extremes-to shut reason out, and to let nothing else in.
Blaise Pascal
The stream is always purer at its source. [Fr., Les choses valent toujours mieux dans leur source.]
Blaise Pascal
Curiosity is only vanity. We usually only want to know something so that we can talk about it.
Blaise Pascal
The greatest single distinguishing feature of the omnipotence of God is that our imagination gets lost thinking about it.
Blaise Pascal
The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory.
Blaise Pascal
Ugly deeds are most estimable when hidden.
Blaise Pascal
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
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
Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.
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
Cold words freeze people, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words make them wrathful. Kind words also produce their own image on men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They smooth, and quiet, and comfort the hearer.
Blaise Pascal
The multitude which does not reduce itself to unity is confusion.
Blaise Pascal
The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble.
Blaise Pascal
There are plenty of maxims in the world all that remains is to apply them.
Blaise Pascal
The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.
Blaise Pascal
Human beings must be known to be loved but Divine beings must be loved to be known.
Blaise Pascal
To have no time for philosophy is to be a true philosopher.
Blaise Pascal
If we do not know ourselves to be full of pride, ambition, lust, weakness, misery, and injustice, we are indeed blind. And if, knowing this, we do not desire deliverance, what can we say of a man...?
Blaise Pascal
To find recreation in amusements is not happiness for this joy springs from alien and extrinsic sources, and is therefore dependent upon and subject to interruption by a thousand accidents, which may minister inevitable affliction.
Blaise Pascal
The authority of reason is far more imperious than that of a master for he who disobeys the one is unhappy, but he who disobeys the other is a fool.
Blaise Pascal
