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
What a chimaera then is man, what a novelty, what a monster, what chaos, what a subject of contradiction, what a prodigy! Judge of all things, yet an imbecile earthworm depository of truth, yet a sewer of uncertainty and error pride and refuse of the universe. Who shall resolve this tangle?
Blaise Pascal
Image
If you want others to have a good opinion of you, say nothing.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If man should commence by studying himself, he would see how impossible it is to go further.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Beauty is a harmonious relation between something in our nature and the quality of the object which delights us.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end. When we think to attach ourselves to any pointand to fasten to it, it wavers and leaves us and if we follow it, it eludes our grasp, slips past us, and vanishes for ever. Nothing stays for us.
Blaise Pascal
Image
I maintain that, if everyone knew what others said about him, there would not be four friends in the world.
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
Just as all things speak about God to those that know Him, and reveal Him to those that love Him, they also hide Him from all those that neither seek nor know Him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Without [diversion] we would be in a state of weariness, and this weariness would spur us on to seek a more solid means of escaping from it. But diversion amuses us, and leads us unconsciously to death.
Blaise Pascal
Image
For nature is an image of Grace, and visible miracles are images of the invisible.
Blaise Pascal
Image
He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
Blaise Pascal
Image
You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The weakness of human reason appears more evidently in those who know it not than in those who know it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We know truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.
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
The world is satisfied with words. Few appreciate the things beneath. [Fr., Le monde se paye de paroles peu approfondissement les choses.]
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
All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.
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
Instinct teaches us to look for happiness outside ourselves.
Blaise Pascal
