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
Image
The statements of atheists ought to be perfectly clear of doubt. Now it is not perfectly clear that the soul is material.

Le nez de Cle opa tre: s'il e u t e te plus court, toute la face de la terre aurait change . Cleopatra'snose: if it had beenshorter the whole face of the earth would have been different.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Civil wars are the greatest of evils. They are inevitable, if we wish to reward merit, for all will say that they are meritorious.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Flies are so mighty that they win battles, paralyse our minds, eat up our bodies.
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
No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Rivers are highways that move on and bear us whither we wish to go.
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
The majority is the best way, because it is visible, and has strength to make itself obeyed. Yet it is the opinion of the least able.
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
Fear not, provided you fear but if you fear not, then fear.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end. When we think to attach ourselves to any pointand to fasten to it, it wavers and leaves us and if we follow it, it eludes our grasp, slips past us, and vanishes for ever. Nothing stays for us.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man's grandeur is that he knows himself to be miserable.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Christianity is strange. It bids man recognise that he is vile, even abominable, and bids him desire to be like God. Without such a counterpoise, this dignity would make him horribly vain, or this humiliation would make him terribly abject.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To be mistaken in believing that the Christian religion is true is no great loss to anyone but how dreadful to be mistaken in believing it to be false!
