More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Now, if the passions had no hold on us, a week and a hundred years would amount to the same.
Blaise Pascal
Happiness is neither within us, nor without us. It is in the union of ourselves with God.
Blaise Pascal
Not only do we know God through Jesus Christ, we only know ourselves through Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
Perfect clarity would profit the intellect but damage the will.
Blaise Pascal
Man is neither angel nor beast.
Blaise Pascal
From whence comes it that a cripple in body does not irritate us, and that a crippled mind enrages us? It is because a cripple sees that we go right, and a distorted mind says that it is we who go astray. But for that we should have more pity and less rage.
Blaise Pascal
Most of man's trouble comes from his inability to be still.
Blaise Pascal
I am in the utmost perplexity, yand have wished a hundred times, that if there is a A God, nature would manifest him without ambiguity, and that if there is not, every imaginary sign of his existence might vanish : in short, let nature speak distinctly, or be totally silent, and I shall know what course to take.
Blaise Pascal
Dans une grande a me tout est grand. In a great soul everything isgreat.
Blaise Pascal
Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Blaise Pascal
Those we call the ancients were really new in everything.
Blaise Pascal
We must know where to doubt, where to feel certain, where to submit. He who does not do so, understands not the force of reason.
Blaise Pascal
We should seek the truth without hesitation and, if we refuse it, we show that we value the esteem of men more than the search for truth.
Blaise Pascal
Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.
Blaise Pascal
You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend.
Blaise Pascal
Good deeds, when concealed, are the most admirable.
Blaise Pascal
Fashion is a tyrant from which nothing frees us. We must suit ourselves to its fantastic tastes. But being compelled to live under its foolish laws, the wise man is never the first to follow, nor the last to keep it.
Blaise Pascal
The heart has arguments with which the logic of mind is not aquainted.
Blaise Pascal
Rivers are highways that move on and bear us whither we wish to go.
Blaise Pascal
Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.
Blaise Pascal
