Education produces natural intuitions, and natural intuitions are erased by education.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The mind has its arrangement it proceeds from principles to demonstrations. The heart has a different mode of proceeding.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Caesar was too old, it seems to me, to go off and amuse himself conquering the world. Such a pastime was all right for Augustus and Alexander they were young men, not easily held in check, but Caesar ought to have been more mature.
Blaise Pascal
Image
When intuition and logic agree, you are always right.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The last function of reason is to recognize that there are an infinity of things which surpass it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Evil is easy, and has infinite forms.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All the dignity of man consists in thought. Thought is therefore by its nature a wonderful and incomparable thing. It must have strange defects to be contemptible. But it has such, so that nothing is more ridiculous. How great it is in its nature! How vile it is in its defects! But what is this thought? How foolish it is!
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
We think very little of time present we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we recall the past to stay it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here, regardless only of the moment that is actually our own.
Blaise Pascal
Image
I can well conceive a man without hands, feet, head. But I cannot conceive man without thought he would be a stone or a brute.
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
Thinking too little about things or thinking too much both make us obstinate and fanatical.
Blaise Pascal
Image
God has given us evidence sufficiently clear to convince those with an open heart and mind.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
It is not only old and early impressions that deceive us the charms of novelty have the same power.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We do not worry about being respected in towns through which we pass. But if we are going to remain in one for a certain time, we do worry. How long does this time have to be?
Blaise Pascal
Image
For as old age is that period of life most remote from infancy, who does not see that old age in this universal man ought not to be sought in the times nearest his birth, but in those most remote from it?
Blaise Pascal
Image
The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All man's troubles come from not knowing how to sit still in one room.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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.]
