All evil stems from this-that we do. Know how to handle your solitude.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Most of man's trouble comes from his inability to be still.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Things have different qualities, and the soul different inclinations for nothing is simple which is presented to the soul, and the soul never presents itself simply to any object. Hence it comes that we weep and laugh at the same thing.
Blaise Pascal
Image
There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Image
There are vices which have no hold upon us, but in connection with others and which, when you cut down the trunk, fall like the branches.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The method of not erring is sought by all the world. The logicians profess to guide it, the geometricians alone attain it, and apart from science, and the imitations of it, there are no true demonstrations.
Blaise Pascal
Image
I take it as a matter not to be disputed, that if all knew what each said of the other, there would not be four friends in the world. This seems proved by the quarrels and disputes caused by the disclosures which are occasionally made.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All sorrow has its root in man's inability to sit quiet in a room by himself.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Without the knowledge of our wretchedness, the knowledge of God creates pride. With it, the knowledge of God creates despair. The knowledge of Christ offers a third way, because in him we find both God and our wretchedness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Silence. All human unhappiness comes from not knowing how to stay quietly in a room.
Blaise Pascal
Image
I can approve of those only who seek in tears for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The God of the infinite is the God of the infinitesimal.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To be mistaken in believing that the Christian religion is true is no great loss to anyone but how dreadful to be mistaken in believing it to be false!
Blaise Pascal
Image
The imagination disposes of everything. It creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are the whole of the world.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room.
Blaise Pascal
