More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Seeing too much to deny and too little to be sure, I am in a state to be pitied.
Blaise Pascal
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing. We feel it in a thousand things. I say that the heart naturally loves the Universal Being, and naturally loves itself and it gives itself to one or the other, and hardens itself against one or the other, as it chooses...it is the heart that feels God, not the reason this is faith.
Blaise Pascal
Let man then contemplate the whole of nature in her full and grand majesty... No idea approaches it. We may enlarge our conceptions beyond all imaginable space we only produce atoms in comparison with the reality of things. It is an infinite sphere, the center of which is everywhere, the circumference nowhere.
Blaise Pascal
Instinct teaches us to look for happiness outside ourselves.
Blaise Pascal
A few rules include all that is necessary for the perfection of the definitions, the axioms, and the demonstrations, and consequently of the entire method of the geometrical proofs of the art of persuading.
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 are usually convinced more easily by reasons we have found ourselves than by those which have occurred to others.
Blaise Pascal
We conceal it from ourselves in vain - we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.
Blaise Pascal
Nature, which alone is good, is wholly familiar and common.
Blaise Pascal
Condition de l'homme: inconstance, ennui, inquie tude. Man's condition. Inconstancy, boredom, anxiety.
Blaise Pascal
Force rules the world-not opinion but it is opinion that makes use of force.
Blaise Pascal
What a difficult thing it is to ask someone's advice on a matter without coloring his judgment by the way in which we present our problem.
Blaise Pascal
The married should not forget that to speak of love begets love.
Blaise Pascal
There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.
Blaise Pascal
We never do evil so effectually as when we are led to do it by a false principle of conscience.
Blaise Pascal
To go beyond the bounds of moderation is to outrage humanity. The greatness of the human soul is shown by knowing how to keep within proper bounds. There are two equally dangerous extremes- to shut reason out, and not to let nothing in.
Blaise Pascal
By thought I embrace the universe.
Blaise Pascal
Without [diversion] we would be in a state of weariness, and this weariness would spur us on to seek a more solid means of escaping from it. But diversion amuses us, and leads us unconsciously to death.
Blaise Pascal
True eloquence scorns eloquence.
Blaise Pascal
If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.
Blaise Pascal
