More quotes by Blaise Pascal

Image
We know then the existence and nature of the finite, because we also are finite and have extension. We know the existence of the infinite and are ignorant of its nature, because it has extension like us, but not limits like us. But we know neither the existence nor the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To go beyond the bounds of moderation is to outrage humanity.
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
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
Image
The parts of the universe ... all are connected with each other in such a way that I think it to be impossible to understand any one without the whole.

Blaise Pascal
Image
Good deeds, when concealed, are the most admirable.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Force rules the world-not opinion but it is opinion that makes use of force.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Even those who write against fame wish for the fame of having written well, and those who read their works desire the fame of having read them.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Death is easier to bear without thinking of it, than the thought of death without peril.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All sorrow has its root in man's inability to sit quiet in a room by himself.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man lives between the infinitely large and the infinitely small.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is a dangerous experiment to call in gratitude as an ally to love. Love is a debt which inclination always pays, obligation never.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Habit is a second nature, which destroys the first.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Each one is all in all to himself for being dead, all is dead to him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Let man reawake and consider what he is compared with the reality of things regard himself lost in this remote corner of Nature and from the tiny cell where he lodges, to wit the Universe, weigh at their true worth earth, kingdoms, towns, himself. What is a man face to face with infinity?
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
No one is offended at not seeing everything but one does not like to be mistaken, and that perhaps arises from the fact that man naturally cannot see everything, and that naturally he cannot err in the side he looks at, since the perceptions of our senses are always true.
Blaise Pascal

Having been unable to strengthen justice, we have justified strength.
Blaise Pascal
