More quotes by Blaise Pascal
No one is offended at not seeing everything but one does not like to be mistaken, and that perhaps arises from the fact that man naturally cannot see everything, and that naturally he cannot err in the side he looks at, since the perceptions of our senses are always true.
Blaise Pascal
Education produces natural intuitions, and natural intuitions are erased by education.
Blaise Pascal
The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of... We know the truth not only by the reason, but by the heart. - Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal
There are people who lie simply for the sake of lying.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is so conformable to reason as to disavow reason.
Blaise Pascal
For as old age is that period of life most remote from infancy, who does not see that old age in this universal man ought not to be sought in the times nearest his birth, but in those most remote from it?
Blaise Pascal
The exterior must be joined to the interior to obtain anything from God, that is to say, we must kneel, pray with the lips, and soon, in order that proud man, who would not submit himself to God, may be now subject to the creature.
Blaise Pascal
Do little things as if they were great, because of the majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ who dwells in thee.
Blaise Pascal
(Man,) the glory and the scandal of the universe.
Blaise Pascal
We conceal it from ourselves in vain - we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.
Blaise Pascal
We do not worry about being respected in towns through which we pass. But if we are going to remain in one for a certain time, we do worry. How long does this time have to be?
Blaise Pascal
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
All men are almost led to believe not of proof, but by attraction. This way is base, ignoble, and irrelevant every one therefore disavows it. Each one professes to believe and even to love nothing but what he knows to be worthy of belief and love.
Blaise Pascal
The more intelligence one has, the more people one finds original. Commonplace people see no difference between men.
Blaise Pascal
Description of man: dependence, longing for independence, need.
Blaise Pascal
Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.
Blaise Pascal
The incredulous are the more credulous. They believe the miracles of Vespasian that they may not believe those of Moses. [Fr., Incredules les plus credules. Ils croient les miracle de Vespasien, pour ne pas croire ceux de Moise.]
Blaise Pascal
All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.
Blaise Pascal
Eloquence is a painting of thought and thus those who, after having painted it, add something more, make a picture instead of a portrait.
Blaise Pascal
The Christian's God does not merely consist of a God who is the Author of mathematical truths and the order of the elements. The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of the Christians, is a God of love and consolation.
Blaise Pascal
