More quotes by Blaise Pascal
True eloquence makes light of eloquence. True morality makes light of morality.
Blaise Pascal
Education produces natural intuitions, and natural intuitions are erased by education.
Blaise Pascal
Chance gives rise to thoughts, and chance removes them no art can keep or acquire them.
Blaise Pascal
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
If we must not act save on a certainty, we ought not to act on religion, for it is not certain. But how many things we do on an uncertainty, sea voyages, battles!
Blaise Pascal
All our dignity lies in our thoughts.
Blaise Pascal
Rivers are roads which move, and which carry us whither we desire to go.
Blaise Pascal
I condemn equally those who choose to praise man, those who choose to condemn him and those who choose to divert themselves, and I can only approve of those who seek with groans.
Blaise Pascal
The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble.

We make an idol of truth itself for truth apart from charity is not God, but His image and idol, which we must neither love nor worship.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
All our life passes in this way: we seek rest by struggling against certain obstacles, and once they are overcome, rest proves intolerable because of the boredom it produces.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without a passion, without business, without entertainment, without care.
Blaise Pascal
Instead of complaining that God had hidden himself, you will give Him thanks for having revealed so much of Himself.
Blaise Pascal
The two principles of truth, reason and senses, are not only both not genuine, but are engaged in mutual deception. The senses deceive reason through false appearances, and the senses are disturbed by passions, which produce false impressions.
Blaise Pascal
It is not shameful for a man to succumb to pain and it is shameful to succumb to pleasure.
Blaise Pascal
Habit is a second nature, which destroys the first.
Blaise Pascal
All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.
Blaise Pascal
All our reasoning boils down to yielding to sentiment.
Blaise Pascal
Death itself is less painful when it comes upon us unawares than the bare contemplation of it, even when danger is far distant.
Blaise Pascal
