Quote

Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. They make other people good-natured. They also produce their own image on men's souls, and a beautiful image it is.

More quotes by Blaise Pascal

Image
Those are weaklings who know the truth and uphold it as long as it suits their purpose, and then abandon it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We do not worry about being respected in towns through which we pass. But if we are going to remain in one for a certain time, we do worry. How long does this time have to be?
Blaise Pascal
Image
True eloquence makes light of eloquence. True morality makes light of morality.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.
Blaise Pascal

It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.
Blaise Pascal

Continuous eloquence wearies. Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We are so presumptuous that we should like to be known all over the world, even by people who will only come when we are no more. Such is our vanity that the good opinion of half a dozen of the people around us gives us pleasure and satisfaction.
Blaise Pascal
Image
That something so obvious as the vanity of the world should be so little recognized that people find it odd and surprising to be told that it is foolish to seek greatness that is most remarkable.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Rivers are highways that move on and bear us whither we wish to go.
Blaise Pascal
Image
How vain painting is-we admire the realistic depiction of objects which in their original state we don't admire at all.
Blaise Pascal
Image
There was once in man a true happiness of which there now remain to him only the mark and empty trace, which he in vain tries to fill from all his surroundings, seeking from things absent the help he does not obtain in things present.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without a passion, without business, without entertainment, without care.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Fuller believed human societies would soon rely mainly on renewable sources of energy, such as solar- and wind-derived electricity,. envisioned an age of universal education and sustenance of all humanity. The heart has reasons that reason does not understand.
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
I can well conceive a man without hands, feet, head. But I cannot conceive man without thought he would be a stone or a brute.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is not only old and early impressions that deceive us the charms of novelty have the same power.
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
When intuition and logic agree, you are always right.
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
