More quotes by Blaise Pascal

Image
Not only do we know God by Jesus Christ alone, but we know ourselves only by Jesus Christ. We know life and death only through Jesus Christ. Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.
Blaise Pascal
Image
As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If you want others to have a good opinion of you, say nothing.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
Reason is the slow and torturous method by which those who do not know the truth discover it
Blaise Pascal
Image
Do little things as if they were great, because of the majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ who dwells in thee.
Blaise Pascal
Image
You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We do not content ourselves with the life we have in ourselves and in our being we desire to live an imaginary life in the mind of others, and for this purpose we endeavor to shine. We labor unceasingly to adorn and preserve this imaginary existence and neglect the real.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Those are weaklings who know the truth and uphold it as long as it suits their purpose, and then abandon it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The present is never the mark of our designs. We use both past and present as our means and instruments, but the future only as our object and aim.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If you believe in God you are at no disadvantage in this life, and at considerable advantage in the next. If you do not believe, but find in the next that there was a next, you are most unfortunate!
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man's grandeur is that he knows himself to be miserable.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The statements of atheists ought to be perfectly clear of doubt. Now it is not perfectly clear that the soul is material.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The multitude which does not reduce itself to unity is confusion.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Perfect clarity would profit the intellect but damage the will.
Blaise Pascal
Image
L'homme n'est qu'un sujet plein d'erreur, naturelle et ineffa c° able sans la gra ce. Man is nothing but a subject full of natural error that cannot be eradicated except through grace.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If we do not know ourselves to be full of pride, ambition, lust, weakness, misery, and injustice, we are indeed blind. And if, knowing this, we do not desire deliverance, what can we say of a man...?
Blaise Pascal
Image
How vain painting is-we admire the realistic depiction of objects which in their original state we don't admire at all.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Not only do we know God through Jesus Christ, we only know ourselves through Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
