More quotes by Blaise Pascal
We have so exalted a notion of the human soul that we cannot bear to be despised, or even not to be esteemed by it. Man, in fact, places all his happiness in this esteem.
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
The heart has arguments with which the logic of mind is not aquainted.
Blaise Pascal
The only shame is to have none.
Blaise Pascal
To go beyond the bounds of moderation is to outrage humanity.
Blaise Pascal
All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.
Blaise Pascal
It is not certain that everything is uncertain.
Blaise Pascal
Now, if the passions had no hold on us, a week and a hundred years would amount to the same.
Blaise Pascal
A jester, a bad character.
Blaise Pascal
Our reason is always disappointed by the inconstancy of appearances.
Blaise Pascal
If there were only one religion, God would indeed be manifest.
Blaise Pascal
The imagination enlarges little objects so as to fill our souls with a fantastic estimate and, with rash insolence, it belittles the great to its own measure, as when talking of God.
Blaise Pascal
When I consider the small span of my life absorbed in the eternity of all time, or the small part of space which I can touch or see engulfed by the infinite immensity of spaces that I know not and that know me not, I am frightened and astonished to see myself here instead of there … now instead of then.
Blaise Pascal
All men are almost led to believe not of proof, but by attraction. This way is base, ignoble, and irrelevant every one therefore disavows it. Each one professes to believe and even to love nothing but what he knows to be worthy of belief and love.
Blaise Pascal
Cold words freeze people, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words make them wrathful. Kind words also produce their own image on men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They smooth, and quiet, and comfort the hearer.
Blaise Pascal
Not to be mad is another form of madness
Blaise Pascal
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
I can well conceive a man without hands, feet, head. But I cannot conceive man without thought he would be a stone or a brute.
Blaise Pascal
All the good maxims which are in the world fail when applied to one's self.
Blaise Pascal
Death is easier to bear without thinking of it, than the thought of death without peril.
Blaise Pascal
