More quotes by Blaise Pascal
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
Faith affirms many things, respecting which the senses are silent, but nothing that they deny. It is superior, but never opposed to their testimony
Blaise Pascal
Mankind suffers from two excesses: to exclude reason, and to live by nothing but reason.
Blaise Pascal
We see neither justice nor injustice which does not change its nature with change in climate. Three degrees of latitude reverse all jurisprudence a meridian decides the truth.
Blaise Pascal
Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.
Blaise Pascal
Our achievements of today are but the sum total of our thoughts of yesterday.
Blaise Pascal
Kind words produce their own image in men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used.
Blaise Pascal
Man is neither angel nor beast.
Blaise Pascal
The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory.
Blaise Pascal
The more intelligent a man is, the more originality he discovers in others.
Blaise Pascal
Not only do we know God by Jesus Christ alone, but we know ourselves only by Jesus Christ. We know life and death only through Jesus Christ. Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.
Blaise Pascal
If we regulate our conduct according to our own convictions, we may safely disregard the praise or censure of others.
Blaise Pascal
The authority of reason is far more imperious than that of a master for he who disobeys the one is unhappy, but he who disobeys the other is a fool.
Blaise Pascal
The statements of atheists ought to be perfectly clear of doubt. Now it is not perfectly clear that the soul is material.
Blaise Pascal
When we read too fast or too slowly, we understand nothing.
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
It is certain that those who have the living faith in their hearts see at once that all existence is none other than the work of the God whom they adore. But for those in whom this light is extinguished, [if we were to show them our proofs of the existence of God] nothing is more calculated to arouse their contempt. . . .
Blaise Pascal
Lust is the source of all our actions, and humanity.
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
There are two equally dangerous extremes-to shut reason out, and to let nothing else in.
Blaise Pascal
