More quotes by Blaise Pascal

Image
We think very little of time present we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we recall the past to stay it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here, regardless only of the moment that is actually our own.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Any unity which doesn't have its origin in the multitudes is tyranny.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The imagination disposes of everything. It creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are the whole of the world.
Blaise Pascal
Image
He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God's providence to lead him aright.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To make a man a saint, it must indeed be by grace and whoever doubts this does not know what a saint is, or a man.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Do you wish people to speak well of you? Then do not speak at all yourself.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We see neither justice nor injustice which does not change its nature with change in climate. Three degrees of latitude reverse all jurisprudence a meridian decides the truth.
Blaise Pascal
Image
May God never abandon me.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All I know is that I must soon die, but what I know least is this very death which I cannot escape.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Death itself is less painful when it comes upon us unawares than the bare contemplation of it, even when danger is far distant.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Everything that is written merely to please the author is worthless.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is right that what is just should be obeyed. It is necessary that what is strongest should be obeyed.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Kind words produce their own image in men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used.
Blaise Pascal
Image
I should not be a Christian but for the miracles.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.
Blaise Pascal
Image
There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Words differently arranged have a different meaning, and meanings differently arranged have different effects.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All this visible world is but an imperceptible point in the ample bosom of nature.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Not only do we know God through Jesus Christ, we only know ourselves through Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
