More quotes by Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Nature confuses the skeptics and reason confutes the dogmatists
Blaise Pascal
Two things control men's nature, instinct and experience.
Blaise Pascal
We never do evil so effectually as when we are led to do it by a false principle of conscience.
Blaise Pascal
The end point of rationality is to demonstrate the limits of rationality.
Blaise Pascal
Do you wish people to speak well of you? Then do not speak at all yourself.
Blaise Pascal
The imagination enlarges little objects so as to fill our souls with a fantastic estimate and, with rash insolence, it belittles the great to its own measure, as when talking of God.

Blaise Pascal
If we examine our thoughts, we shall find them always occupied with the past or the future.
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
When I consider the small span of my life absorbed in the eternity of all time, or the small part of space which I can touch or see engulfed by the infinite immensity of spaces that I know not and that know me not, I am frightened and astonished to see myself here instead of there … now instead of then.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is more dastardly than to act with bravado toward God.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
We are usually convinced more easily by reasons we have found ourselves than by those which have occurred to others.
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 are so presumptuous that we should like to be known all over the world, even by people who will only come when we are no more. Such is our vanity that the good opinion of half a dozen of the people around us gives us pleasure and satisfaction.
Blaise Pascal
At the centre of every human being is a God-shaped vacuum which can only be filled by Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
Description of man: dependence, longing for independence, need.
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
All err the more dangerously because each follows a truth. Their mistake lies not in following a falsehood but in not following another truth.
Blaise Pascal
