Blaise Pascal
Image
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing. We feel it in a thousand things. I say that the heart naturally loves the Universal Being, and naturally loves itself and it gives itself to one or the other, and hardens itself against one or the other, as it chooses...it is the heart that feels God, not the reason this is faith.
Blaise Pascal
Image
He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God's providence to lead him aright.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Condition de l'homme: inconstance, ennui, inquie tude. Man's condition. Inconstancy, boredom, anxiety.
Blaise Pascal
Image
When some passion or effect is described in a natural style, we find within ourselves the truth of what we hear, without knowing it was there.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The mind naturally makes progress, and the will naturally clings to objects so that for want of right objects, it will attach itself to wrong ones.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The greatest single distinguishing feature of the omnipotence of God is that our imagination gets lost thinking about it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The heart has arguments with which the logic of mind is not aquainted.
Blaise Pascal
