All the good maxims which are in the world fail when applied to one's self.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Happiness is neither within us, nor without us. It is in the union of ourselves with God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Justice is what is established and thus all our established laws will necessarily be regarded as just without examination, since they are established.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The imagination enlarges little objects so as to fill our souls with a fantastic estimate and, with rash insolence, it belittles the great to its own measure, as when talking of God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
In each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious.
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
We do not content ourselves with the life we have in ourselves and in our being we desire to live an imaginary life in the mind of others, and for this purpose we endeavor to shine. We labor unceasingly to adorn and preserve this imaginary existence and neglect the real.
Blaise Pascal
Image
By thought I embrace the universe.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Two similar faces, neither of which alone causes laughter, use laughter when they are together, by their resemblance.
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
What use is it to us to hear it said of a man that he has thrown off the yoke that he does not believe there is a God to watch over his actions, that he reckons himself the sole master of his behavior, and that he does not intend to give an account of it to anyone but himself?
Blaise Pascal
Image
No one is offended at not seeing everything but one does not like to be mistaken, and that perhaps arises from the fact that man naturally cannot see everything, and that naturally he cannot err in the side he looks at, since the perceptions of our senses are always true.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We know the truth not only through our reason but also through our heart. It is through the latter that we know first principles, and reason, which has nothing to do with it, tries in vain to refute them.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Il n'est pas certain que tout soit incertain. (Translation: It is not certain that everything is uncertain.)
Blaise Pascal
Image
Le silence e ternel de ces espaces infinis m'effraie. The eternal silence of these infinite spaces fills me with dread.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man is neither angel nor beast.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Fear not, provided you fear but if you fear not, then fear.

Brave deeds are wasted when hidden.
