More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Those who profess contempt for men, and put them on a level with beasts, yet wish to be admired and believed by men, and contradict themselves by their own feelings--their nature, which is stronger than all, convincing them of the greatness of man more forcibly than reason convinces them of his baseness.
Blaise Pascal
The world is satisfied with words. Few appreciate the things beneath. [Fr., Le monde se paye de paroles peu approfondissement les choses.]
Blaise Pascal
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
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
At the centre of every human being is a God-shaped vacuum which can only be filled by Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
Do little things as if they were great, because of the majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ who dwells in thee.
Blaise Pascal
By thought I embrace the universe.
Blaise Pascal
Any unity which doesn't have its origin in the multitudes is tyranny.
Blaise Pascal
The state of man is inconstancy, ennui, anxiety.
Blaise Pascal
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
All sorrow has its root in man's inability to sit quiet in a room by himself.
Blaise Pascal
Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.
Blaise Pascal
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
The statements of atheists ought to be perfectly clear of doubt. Now it is not perfectly clear that the soul is material.
Blaise Pascal
Each one is all in all to himself for being dead, all is dead to him.
Blaise Pascal
Happiness can be found neither in ourselves nor in external things, but in God and in ourselves as united to him.
Blaise Pascal
To deny, to believe, and to doubt well, are to a man what the race is to a horse.
Blaise Pascal
The last thing we decide in writing a book is what to put first.
Blaise Pascal
For nature is an image of Grace, and visible miracles are images of the invisible.
Blaise Pascal
If magistrates had true justice, and if physicians had the true art of healing, they would have no occasion for square caps the majesty of these sciences would itself be venerable enough.
Blaise Pascal
