And is it not obvious that, just as it is a crime to disturb the peace when truth reigns, it is also a crime to remain at peace when the truth is being destroyed?

More quotes by Blaise Pascal
He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
Blaise Pascal
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
All our reasoning boils down to yielding to sentiment.
Blaise Pascal
By thought I embrace the universe.
Blaise Pascal
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason.
Blaise Pascal
Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
The world is satisfied with words. Few appreciate the things beneath. [Fr., Le monde se paye de paroles peu approfondissement les choses.]
Blaise Pascal
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
Man's grandeur is that he knows himself to be miserable.
Blaise Pascal
Man lives between the infinitely large and the infinitely small.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
I would have far more fear of being mistaken, and of finding that the Christian religion was true, than of not being mistaken in believing it true.
Blaise Pascal
When I have occasionally set myself to consider the different distractions of men, the pains and perils to which they expose themselves I have discovered that all the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.
Blaise Pascal
We do not rest satisfied with the present.... So imprudent we are that we wander in the times which are not ours and do not thinkof the only one which belongs to us and so idle are we that we dream of those times which are no more and thoughtlessly overlook that which alone exists. For the present is generally painful to us.
Blaise Pascal
Continued eloquence is wearisome.
Blaise Pascal
No soul of high estate can take pleasure in slander. It betrays a weakness.
Blaise Pascal
The property of power is to protect.
Blaise Pascal
Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary.
Blaise Pascal
There are two equally dangerous extremes-to shut reason out, and to let nothing else in.
Blaise Pascal
