More quotes by Blaise Pascal
God has given us evidence sufficiently clear to convince those with an open heart and mind.
Blaise Pascal
Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
Blaise Pascal
All this visible world is but an imperceptible point in the ample bosom of nature.
Blaise Pascal
There are plenty of maxims in the world all that remains is to apply them.
Blaise Pascal
When we read too fast or too slowly, we understand nothing.
Blaise Pascal
Law, without force, is impotent.
Blaise Pascal
The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory.
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
Not only do we know God by Jesus Christ alone, but we know ourselves only by Jesus Christ. We know life and death only through Jesus Christ. Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.
Blaise Pascal
By thought I embrace the universe.
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
Curiosity is nothing more than vanity. More often than not we only seek knowledge to show it off.
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
Caesar was too old, it seems to me, to go off and amuse himself conquering the world. Such a pastime was all right for Augustus and Alexander they were young men, not easily held in check, but Caesar ought to have been more mature.
Blaise Pascal
We must know where to doubt, where to feel certain, where to submit. He who does not do so, understands not the force of reason.
Blaise Pascal
The Fall is an offense to human reason, but once accepted, it makes perfect sense of the human condition.
Blaise Pascal
Quand on voit le style naturel, on est tout e tonne et ravi, car on s'attendait de voir un auteur, et on trouve un homme. When we see a natural style we are quite amazed and delighted, because we expected to see an author and find a man.
Blaise Pascal
True eloquence makes light of eloquence. True morality makes light of morality.
Blaise Pascal
Il n'y a que deux sortes d'hommes: les uns justes, qui se croient pe cheurs les autres pe cheurs, qui se croient justes. There are only two types of people: the virtuous who believe themselves to be sinners and the sinners who believe themselves to be virtuous.
Blaise Pascal
How vain painting is-we admire the realistic depiction of objects which in their original state we don't admire at all.
Blaise Pascal
