More quotes by Blaise Pascal
We are never in search of things, but always in search of the search.
Blaise Pascal
It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.
Blaise Pascal
Who knows if this other half of life where we think we're awake is not another sleep a little different from the first.
Blaise Pascal
Things are always at their best in their beginning.
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
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
I am in the utmost perplexity, yand have wished a hundred times, that if there is a A God, nature would manifest him without ambiguity, and that if there is not, every imaginary sign of his existence might vanish : in short, let nature speak distinctly, or be totally silent, and I shall know what course to take.
Blaise Pascal
Nature, which alone is good, is wholly familiar and common.
Blaise Pascal
Good deeds, when concealed, are the most admirable.
Blaise Pascal
That something so obvious as the vanity of the world should be so little recognized that people find it odd and surprising to be told that it is foolish to seek greatness that is most remarkable.
Blaise Pascal
All man's troubles come from not knowing how to sit still in one room.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination is the deceptive part in man, the mistress of error and falsehood.
Blaise Pascal
Ugly deeds are most estimable when hidden.
Blaise Pascal
Quand on voit le style naturel, on est tout e tonne et ravi, car on s'attendait de voir un auteur, et on trouve un homme. When we see a natural style we are quite amazed and delighted, because we expected to see an author and find a man.
Blaise Pascal
What matters it that man should have a little more knowledge of the universe? If he has it, he gets little higher. Is he not always infinitely removed from the end, and is not the duration of our life equally removed from eternity, even if it lasts ten years longer?
Blaise Pascal
To find recreation in amusement is not happiness.
Blaise Pascal
Everything that is written merely to please the author is worthless.
Blaise Pascal
(Man,) the glory and the scandal of the universe.
Blaise Pascal
Our reason is always disappointed by the inconstancy of appearances.
Blaise Pascal
Most of man's trouble comes from his inability to be still.
Blaise Pascal
