Each man is everything to himself, for with his death everything is dead for him. That is why each of us thinks he is everything to everyone. We must not judge nature by ourselves, but by its own standards.
Blaise Pascal

More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Excuse me, pray. Without that excuse I would not have known there was anything amiss.
Blaise Pascal
What matters it that man should have a little more knowledge of the universe? If he has it, he gets little higher. Is he not always infinitely removed from the end, and is not the duration of our life equally removed from eternity, even if it lasts ten years longer?
Blaise Pascal
The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.
Blaise Pascal
When malice has reason on its side, it looks forth bravely, and displays that reason in all its luster. When austerity and self-denial have not realized true happiness, and the soul returns to the dictates of nature, the reaction is fearfully extravagant.
Blaise Pascal
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination decides everything.
Blaise Pascal
It is your own assent to yourself, and the constant voice of your own reason, and not of others, that should make you believe.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is more dastardly than to act with bravado toward God.
Blaise Pascal
How vain painting is-we admire the realistic depiction of objects which in their original state we don't admire at all.
Blaise Pascal
Happiness is neither within us, nor without us. It is in the union of ourselves with God.
Blaise Pascal
The incredulous are the more credulous. They believe the miracles of Vespasian that they may not believe those of Moses. [Fr., Incredules les plus credules. Ils croient les miracle de Vespasien, pour ne pas croire ceux de Moise.]
Blaise Pascal
Concupiscence and force are the source of all our actions concupiscence causes voluntary actions, force involuntary ones.
Blaise Pascal
The war existing between the senses and reason.
Blaise Pascal
Man is so made that if he is told often enough that he is a fool he believes it.
Blaise Pascal
The God of the infinite is the God of the infinitesimal.
Blaise Pascal
(Man,) the glory and the scandal of the universe.
Blaise Pascal
If we must not act save on a certainty, we ought not to act on religion, for it is not certain. But how many things we do on an uncertainty, sea voyages, battles!
Blaise Pascal
Brave deeds are wasted when hidden.
Blaise Pascal
Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
Blaise Pascal
True eloquence scorns eloquence.
Blaise Pascal
