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.

More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Eloquence is the painting of thought.
Blaise Pascal
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
Law, without force, is impotent.
Blaise Pascal
Each man is everything to himself, for with his death everything is dead for him. That is why each of us thinks he is everything to everyone. We must not judge nature by ourselves, but by its own standards.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination is the deceptive part in man, the mistress of error and falsehood.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is so conformable to reason as to disavow reason.
Blaise Pascal
To go beyond the bounds of moderation is to outrage humanity.
Blaise Pascal
Vanity is so secure in the heart of man that everyone wants to be admired: even I who write this, and you who read this.
Blaise Pascal
(Man,) the glory and the scandal of the universe.
Blaise Pascal
Civil wars are the greatest of evils. They are inevitable, if we wish to reward merit, for all will say that they are meritorious.
Blaise Pascal
God has given us evidence sufficiently clear to convince those with an open heart and mind.
Blaise Pascal
To go beyond the bounds of moderation is to outrage humanity. The greatness of the human soul is shown by knowing how to keep within proper bounds. There are two equally dangerous extremes- to shut reason out, and not to let nothing in.
Blaise Pascal
He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
Blaise Pascal
The strength of a man's virtue should not be measured by his special exertions, but by his habitual acts.
Blaise Pascal
Man is so made that by continually telling him he is a fool he believes it, and by continually telling it to himself he makes himself believe it. For man holds an inward talk with himself, which it pays him to regulate.
Blaise Pascal
Men seek rest in a struggle against difficulties and when they have conquered these, rest becomes insufferable.
Blaise Pascal
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
The only shame is to have none.
Blaise Pascal
Love has reasons which reason cannot understand.
Blaise Pascal
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
