Everyone, without exception, is searching for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Force rules the world-not opinion but it is opinion that makes use of force.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If we let ourselves believe that man began with divine grace, that he forfeited this by sin, and that he can be redeemed only by divine grace through the crucified Christ, then we shall find peace of mind never granted to philosophers. He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Imagination cannot make fools wise, but it makes them happy, as against reason, which only makes its friends wretched: one covers them with glory, the other with shame.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Let no one say that I have said nothing new... the arrangement of the subject is new. When we play tennis, we both play with the same ball, but one of us places it better.
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
All err the more dangerously because each follows a truth. Their mistake lies not in following a falsehood but in not following another truth.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If a man loves a woman for her beauty, does he love her? No for the smallpox, which destroys her beauty without killing her, causes his love to cease. And if any one loves me for my judgment or my memory, does he really love me? No for I can lose these qualities without ceasing to be.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Let it not be imagined that the life of a good Christian must be a life of melancholy and gloominess for he only resigns some pleasures to enjoy others infinitely better.
Blaise Pascal

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
I take it as a matter not to be disputed, that if all knew what each said of the other, there would not be four friends in the world. This seems proved by the quarrels and disputes caused by the disclosures which are occasionally made.
Blaise Pascal
Image
What reason have atheists for saying that we cannot rise again? That what has never been, should be, or that what has been, should be again? Is it more difficult to come into being than to return to it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
One has followed the other in an endless circle, for it is certain that as man's insight increases so he finds both wretchedness and greatness within himself. In a word man knows he is wretched. Thus he is wretched because he is so, but he is truly great because he knows it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We are not satisfied with real life we want to live some imaginary life in the eyes of other people and to seem different from what we actually are.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We are never in search of things, but always in search of the search.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All men have happiness as their object: there is no exception. However different the means they employ, they all aim at the same end.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Seeing too much to deny and too little to be sure, I am in a state to be pitied.
Blaise Pascal
Image
How can anyone lose who chooses to become a Christian? If, when he dies, there turns out to be no God and his faith was in vain, he has lost nothing...If, however, there is a God and a heaven and a hell. then he has gained heaven and his skeptical friends have lost everything.
Blaise Pascal
Image
When I have occasionally set myself to consider the different distractions of men, the pains and perils to which they expose themselves I have discovered that all the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.
Blaise Pascal
