The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Mankind suffers from two excesses: to exclude reason, and to live by nothing but reason.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We know then the existence and nature of the finite, because we also are finite and have extension. We know the existence of the infinite and are ignorant of its nature, because it has extension like us, but not limits like us. But we know neither the existence nor the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Happiness can be found neither in ourselves nor in external things, but in God and in ourselves as united to him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is right that what is just should be obeyed. It is necessary that what is strongest should be obeyed.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Do you wish people to speak well of you? Then do not speak at all yourself.
Blaise Pascal
