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
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
Image
All evil stems from this-that we do. Know how to handle your solitude.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The Stoics say, Retire within yourselves it is there you will find your rest. And that is not true. Others say, Go out of yourselves seek happiness in amusement. And this is not true. Illness comes. Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.
Blaise Pascal
Image
L'on a beau se cacher a' soi-me me, l'on aime toujours. We vainly conceal from ourselves the fact that we are always in love.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The war existing between the senses and reason.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We are usually convinced more easily by reasons we have found ourselves than by those which have occurred to others.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Not only do we know God through Jesus Christ, we only know ourselves through Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Ugly deeds are most estimable when hidden.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
There is enough light for those who only desire to see, and enough obscurity for those who have a contrary disposition
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man is neither angel nor beast.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The two principles of truth, reason and senses, are not only both not genuine, but are engaged in mutual deception. The senses deceive reason through false appearances, and the senses are disturbed by passions, which produce false impressions.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Imagination magnifies small objects with fantastic exaggeration until they fill our soul, and with bold insolence cuts down great things to its own size, as when speaking of God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All the dignity of man consists in thought. Thought is therefore by its nature a wonderful and incomparable thing. It must have strange defects to be contemptible. But it has such, so that nothing is more ridiculous. How great it is in its nature! How vile it is in its defects! But what is this thought? How foolish it is!
Blaise Pascal
Image
The gospel to me is simply irresistible.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Each one is all in all to himself for being dead, all is dead to him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Distraction is the only thing that consoles us for our miseries. Yet it is itself the greatest of our miseries.
Blaise Pascal
