One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.

More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Everyone, without exception, is searching for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
Great and small suffer the same mishaps.
Blaise Pascal
Curiosity is only vanity. We usually only want to know something so that we can talk about it.
Blaise Pascal
Law, without force, is impotent.
Blaise Pascal
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing. We feel it in a thousand things. I say that the heart naturally loves the Universal Being, and naturally loves itself and it gives itself to one or the other, and hardens itself against one or the other, as it chooses...it is the heart that feels God, not the reason this is faith.
Blaise Pascal
All the dignity of man consists in thought. Thought is therefore by its nature a wonderful and incomparable thing. It must have strange defects to be contemptible. But it has such, so that nothing is more ridiculous. How great it is in its nature! How vile it is in its defects! But what is this thought? How foolish it is!
Blaise Pascal
Most of man's trouble comes from his inability to be still.
Blaise Pascal
Condition de l'homme: inconstance, ennui, inquie tude. Man's condition. Inconstancy, boredom, anxiety.
Blaise Pascal
Desire and force between them are responsible for all our actions desire causes our voluntary acts, force our involuntary.
Blaise Pascal
When a soldier complains of his hard life (or a labourer, etc.) try giving him nothing to do.
Blaise Pascal
If it is an extraordinary blindness to live without investigating what we are, it is a terrible one to live an evil life, while believing in God
Blaise Pascal
Our achievements of today are but the sum total of our thoughts of yesterday.
Blaise Pascal
God is, or He is not. But to which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here. There is an infinite chaos which separated us. A game is being played at the extremity of this infinite distance where heads or tails will turn up. What will you wager?
Blaise Pascal
Muhammad established a religion by putting his enemies to death Jesus Christ by commanding his followers to lay down their lives.
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
To understand is to forgive.
Blaise Pascal
Man is neither angel nor beast.
Blaise Pascal
Religion is so great a thing that it is right that those who will not take the trouble to seek it if it be obscure, should be deprived of it.
Blaise Pascal
Making fun of philosophy is really philosophising.
Blaise Pascal
We are never in search of things, but always in search of the search.
Blaise Pascal
