More quotes by 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
Men often take their imagination for their heart and they believe they are converted as soon as they think of being converted.
Blaise Pascal
Those who are clever in imagination are far more pleased with themselves than prudent men could reasonably be.
Blaise Pascal
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
Reason's last step is to acknowledge that there are infinitely many things beyond it.
Blaise Pascal
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
We never do evil so effectually as when we are led to do it by a false principle of conscience.
Blaise Pascal
Necessity, that great refuge and excuse for human frailty, breaks through all law and he is not to be accounted in fault whose crime is not the effect of choice, but force.
Blaise Pascal
Even those who write against fame wish for the fame of having written well, and those who read their works desire the fame of having read them.
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
Flies are so mighty that they win battles, paralyse our minds, eat up our bodies.
Blaise Pascal
Reason is the slow and torturous method by which those who do not know the truth discover it
Blaise Pascal
Making fun of philosophy is really philosophising.
Blaise Pascal
The Church limits her sacramental services to the faithful. Christ gave Himself upon the cross a ransom for all.
Blaise Pascal
True eloquence scorns eloquence.
Blaise Pascal
Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.
Blaise Pascal
(Man,) the glory and the scandal of the universe.
Blaise Pascal
Brave deeds are wasted when hidden.
Blaise Pascal
Man is neither angel nor beast.
Blaise Pascal
The gist is that good and evil are foreordained. What is foreordained comes necessarily to be after a prior act of divine volition...Rather, everything small and large is written and comes to be in a known and expected measure.
Blaise Pascal
