More quotes by Blaise Pascal
We are so presumptuous that we should like to be known all over the world, even by people who will only come when we are no more. Such is our vanity that the good opinion of half a dozen of the people around us gives us pleasure and satisfaction.
Blaise Pascal
There are two equally dangerous extremes-to shut reason out, and to let nothing else in.
Blaise Pascal
It is not certain that everything is uncertain.
Blaise Pascal
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
I maintain that, if everyone knew what others said about him, there would not be four friends in the world.
Blaise Pascal
If it is an extraordinary blindness to live without investigating what we are, it is a terrible one to live an evil life, while believing in God
Blaise Pascal
Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.
Blaise Pascal
If he exalts himself, I humble him. If he humbles himself, I exalt him. And I go on contradicting him Until he understands That he is a monster that passes all understanding.
Blaise Pascal
Description of man: dependence, longing for independence, need.
Blaise Pascal
Each man is everything to himself, for with his death everything is dead for him. That is why each of us thinks he is everything to everyone. We must not judge nature by ourselves, but by its own standards.
Blaise Pascal
Chance gives rise to thoughts, and chance removes them no art can keep or acquire them.
Blaise Pascal
All this visible world is but an imperceptible point in the ample bosom of nature.
Blaise Pascal
The God of the infinite is the God of the infinitesimal.
Blaise Pascal
Il n'est pas certain que tout soit incertain. (Translation: It is not certain that everything is uncertain.)
Blaise Pascal
God only pours out his light into the mind after having subdued the rebellion of the will by an altogether heavenly gentleness which charms and wins it.
Blaise Pascal
We are never in search of things, but always in search of the search.
Blaise Pascal
Our imagination so magnifies this present existence, by the power of continual reflection on it, and so attenuates eternity, by not thinking of it at all, that we reduce an eternity to nothingness, and expand a mere nothing to an eternity and this habit is so inveterately rooted in us that all the force of reason cannot induce us to lay it aside.
Blaise Pascal
When intuition and logic agree, you are always right.
Blaise Pascal
Vanity is so secure in the heart of man that everyone wants to be admired: even I who write this, and you who read this.
Blaise Pascal
Lust is the source of all our actions, and humanity.
Blaise Pascal
