Image
Look for the truth, it wants to be found.
Blaise Pascal
Image

Fashion is a tyrant from which nothing frees us. We must suit ourselves to its fantastic tastes. But being compelled to live under its foolish laws, the wise man is never the first to follow, nor the last to keep it.
Blaise Pascal

The great mass of people judge well of things, for they are in natural ignorance, which is man's true state.
Blaise Pascal
Image

Blaise Pascal
Image
Just as all things speak about God to those that know Him, and reveal Him to those that love Him, they also hide Him from all those that neither seek nor know Him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To be mistaken in believing that the Christian religion is true is no great loss to anyone but how dreadful to be mistaken in believing it to be false!
Blaise Pascal
Image
Human life is thus only an endless illusion. Men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does when we are gone. Society is based on mutual hypocrisy.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Human beings must be known to be loved but Divine beings must be loved to be known.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Fear not, provided you fear but if you fear not, then fear.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
All our reasoning boils down to yielding to sentiment.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Those great efforts of intellect, upon which the mind sometimes touches, are such that it cannot maintain itself there. It only leaps to them, not as upon a throne, forever, but merely for an instant.
Blaise Pascal
