Reason's last step is to acknowledge that there are infinitely many things beyond it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Discourses on humility are a source of pride in the vain and of humility in the humble. So those on scepticism cause believers to affirm. Few men speak humbly of humility, chastely of chastity, few doubtingly of scepticism.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Instead of complaining that God had hidden himself, you will give Him thanks for having revealed so much of Himself.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The end point of rationality is to demonstrate the limits of rationality.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Il n'est pas certain que tout soit incertain. (Translation: It is not certain that everything is uncertain.)
Blaise Pascal
Image
Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Brave deeds are wasted when hidden.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All men are almost led to believe not of proof, but by attraction. This way is base, ignoble, and irrelevant every one therefore disavows it. Each one professes to believe and even to love nothing but what he knows to be worthy of belief and love.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Imagination decides everything.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Human life is thus only an endless illusion. Men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does when we are gone. Society is based on mutual hypocrisy.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Voluptuousness, like justice, is blind, but that is the only resemblance between them.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The multitude which is not brought to act as a unity, is confusion. That unity which has not its origin in the multitude is tyranny.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Who knows if this other half of life where we think we're awake is not another sleep a little different from the first.
Blaise Pascal
Image
For as old age is that period of life most remote from infancy, who does not see that old age in this universal man ought not to be sought in the times nearest his birth, but in those most remote from it?
Blaise Pascal
Image
Perfect clarity would profit the intellect but damage the will.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Imagination magnifies small objects with fantastic exaggeration until they fill our soul, and with bold insolence cuts down great things to its own size, as when speaking of God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Men are so completely fools by necessity that he is but a fool in a higher strain of folly who does not confess his foolishness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We never do evil so effectually as when we are led to do it by a false principle of conscience.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason.
Blaise Pascal
