More quotes by 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
Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man's grandeur is that he knows himself to be miserable.
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
Concupiscence and force are the source of all our actions concupiscence causes voluntary actions, force involuntary ones.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.
Blaise Pascal
Image
God is, or He is not. But to which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here. There is an infinite chaos which separated us. A game is being played at the extremity of this infinite distance where heads or tails will turn up. What will you wager?
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
Not to be mad is another form of madness
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
For nature is an image of Grace, and visible miracles are images of the invisible.
Blaise Pascal
Image
By thought I embrace the universe.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Each one is all in all to himself for being dead, all is dead to him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All great amusements are dangerous to the Christian life but among all those which the world has invented there is none more to be feared than the theater. It is a representation of the passions so natural and so delicate that it excites them and gives birth to them in our hearts, and, above all, to that of love.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Death is easier to bear without thinking of it, than the thought of death without peril.
Blaise Pascal
Image
True eloquence makes light of eloquence. True morality makes light of morality.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To have no time for philosophy is to be a true philosopher.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All men naturally hate each other. We have used concupiscence as best we can to make it serve the common good, but this is mere sham and a false image of charity, for essentially it is just hate.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The Christian's God does not merely consist of a God who is the Author of mathematical truths and the order of the elements. The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of the Christians, is a God of love and consolation.
Blaise Pascal
