More quotes by Blaise Pascal
To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize.
Blaise Pascal
Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.
Blaise Pascal
All sorrow has its root in man's inability to sit quiet in a room by himself.
Blaise Pascal
When a soldier complains of his hard life (or a labourer, etc.) try giving him nothing to do.
Blaise Pascal
Pride counterbalances all our miseries, for it either hides them, or, if it discloses them, boasts of that disclosure. Pride has such a thorough possession of us, even in the midst of our miseries and faults, that we are prepared to sacrifice life with joy, if it may but be talked of.
Blaise Pascal
For nature is an image of Grace, and visible miracles are images of the invisible.
Blaise Pascal
The more intelligence one has, the more people one finds original. Commonplace people see no difference between men.
Blaise Pascal
Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.
Blaise Pascal
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
The only shame is to have none.
Blaise Pascal
Each man is everything to himself, for with his death everything is dead for him. That is why each of us thinks he is everything to everyone. We must not judge nature by ourselves, but by its own standards.
Blaise Pascal
Death is easier to bear without thinking of it, than the thought of death without peril.
Blaise Pascal
Evil is easily discovered there is an infinite variety good is almost unique. But some kinds of evil are almost as difficult to discover as that which we call good and often particular evil of this class passes for good. It needs even a certain greatness of soul to attain to this, as to that which is good.
Blaise Pascal
Desire and force between them are responsible for all our actions desire causes our voluntary acts, force our involuntary.
Blaise Pascal
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
What a difficult thing it is to ask someone's advice on a matter without coloring his judgment by the way in which we present our problem.
Blaise Pascal
When some passion or effect is described in a natural style, we find within ourselves the truth of what we hear, without knowing it was there.
Blaise Pascal
It is not shameful for a man to succumb to pain and it is shameful to succumb to pleasure.
Blaise Pascal
True eloquence makes light of eloquence. True morality makes light of morality.
Blaise Pascal
All the dignity of man consists in thought. Thought is therefore by its nature a wonderful and incomparable thing. It must have strange defects to be contemptible. But it has such, so that nothing is more ridiculous. How great it is in its nature! How vile it is in its defects! But what is this thought? How foolish it is!
Blaise Pascal
