Quote

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.

To deny, to believe, and to doubt well, are to a man what the race is to a horse.
Blaise Pascal
Image
In each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious.
Blaise Pascal
Image
At the centre of every human being is a God-shaped vacuum which can only be filled by Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nothing is surer than that the people will be weak.
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
No soul of high estate can take pleasure in slander. It betrays a weakness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Men seek rest in a struggle against difficulties and when they have conquered these, rest becomes insufferable.
Blaise Pascal

Man's greatness is great in that he knows himself wretched. A tree does not know itself wretched. It is then being wretched to know oneself wretched but it is being great to know that one is wretched.
Blaise Pascal

If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Continuous eloquence wearies. Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm.
Blaise Pascal
Image
True eloquence makes light of eloquence. True morality makes light of morality.
Blaise Pascal
Image
No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All this visible world is but an imperceptible point in the ample bosom of nature.
Blaise Pascal
Image
What a chimaera then is man, what a novelty, what a monster, what chaos, what a subject of contradiction, what a prodigy! Judge of all things, yet an imbecile earthworm depository of truth, yet a sewer of uncertainty and error pride and refuse of the universe. Who shall resolve this tangle?
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
All our dignity lies in our thoughts.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Desire and force between them are responsible for all our actions desire causes our voluntary acts, force our involuntary.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Everyone, without exception, is searching for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Chess is the gymnasium of the mind.
Blaise Pascal
Image
That dog is mine said those poor children that place in the sun is mine such is the beginning and type of usurpation throughout the earth. [Fr., Ce chien est a moi, disaient ces pauvres enfants c'est la ma place au soleil. Voila le commencement et l'image de l'usurpation de toute la terre.]
