More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.
Blaise Pascal
I can approve of those only who seek in tears for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
If man were happy, he would be the more so, the less he was diverted, like the saints and God.
Blaise Pascal
Eloquence is the painting of thought.
Blaise Pascal
A town, a landscape are when seen from afar a town and a landscape but as one gets nearer, there are houses, trees, tiles leaves, grasses, ants, legs of ants and so on to infinity. All this is subsumed under the name of landscape.
Blaise Pascal
The Christian's God does not merely consist of a God who is the Author of mathematical truths and the order of the elements. The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of the Christians, is a God of love and consolation.
Blaise Pascal
The authority of reason is far more imperious than that of a master for he who disobeys the one is unhappy, but he who disobeys the other is a fool.
Blaise Pascal
Curiosity is only vanity. We usually only want to know something so that we can talk about it.
Blaise Pascal
Any unity which doesn't have its origin in the multitudes is tyranny.
Blaise Pascal
We know then the existence and nature of the finite, because we also are finite and have extension. We know the existence of the infinite and are ignorant of its nature, because it has extension like us, but not limits like us. But we know neither the existence nor the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits.
Blaise Pascal
At the centre of every human being is a God-shaped vacuum which can only be filled by Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
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?
Blaise Pascal
If we dreamed the same thing every night, it would affect us much as the objects we see every day. And if a common workman were sure to dream every night for twelve hours that he was a king, I believe he would be almost as happy as a king who should dream every night for twelve hours on end that he was a common workman.
Blaise Pascal
We make an idol of truth itself for truth apart from charity is not God, but His image and idol, which we must neither love nor worship.
Blaise Pascal
People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they have themselves discovered than by those which have come in to the mind of others.
Blaise Pascal
We are fools to depend upon the society of our fellow-men. Wretched as we are, powerless as we are, they will not aid us we shall die alone.
Blaise Pascal
There are people who lie simply for the sake of lying.
Blaise Pascal
By thought I embrace the universe.
Blaise Pascal
He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God's providence to lead him aright.
Blaise Pascal
The greater intellect one has, the more originality one finds in men. Ordinary persons find no difference between men.
Blaise Pascal
