More quotes by Blaise Pascal
The exterior must be joined to the interior to obtain anything from God, that is to say, we must kneel, pray with the lips, and soon, in order that proud man, who would not submit himself to God, may be now subject to the creature.
Blaise Pascal
We are never in search of things, but always in search of the search.
Blaise Pascal
Il n'est pas certain que tout soit incertain. (Translation: It is not certain that everything is uncertain.)
Blaise Pascal
We like to be deceived.
Blaise Pascal
Look for the truth, it wants to be found.
Blaise Pascal
What use is it to us to hear it said of a man that he has thrown off the yoke that he does not believe there is a God to watch over his actions, that he reckons himself the sole master of his behavior, and that he does not intend to give an account of it to anyone but himself?
Blaise Pascal
There are people who lie simply for the sake of lying.
Blaise Pascal
The two principles of truth, reason and senses, are not only both not genuine, but are engaged in mutual deception. The senses deceive reason through false appearances, and the senses are disturbed by passions, which produce false impressions.
Blaise Pascal
All I know is that I must soon die, but what I know least is this very death which I cannot escape.
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
Since we cannot be universal and know all that is to be known of everything, we ought to know a little about everything. For it is far better to know something about everything than to know all about one thing. This universality is the best. If we can have both, still better but if we must choose, we ought to choose the former.
Blaise Pascal
I maintain that, if everyone knew what others said about him, there would not be four friends in the world.
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
That something so obvious as the vanity of the world should be so little recognized that people find it odd and surprising to be told that it is foolish to seek greatness that is most remarkable.
Blaise Pascal
All our life passes in this way: we seek rest by struggling against certain obstacles, and once they are overcome, rest proves intolerable because of the boredom it produces.
Blaise Pascal
He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
Blaise Pascal
Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.
Blaise Pascal
By thought I embrace the universe.
Blaise Pascal
The Christian religion teaches me two points-that there is a God whom men can know, and that their nature is so corrupt that they are unworthy of Him.
Blaise Pascal
The end point of rationality is to demonstrate the limits of rationality.
Blaise Pascal
