Blaise Pascal
One of the greatest artifices the devil uses to engage men in vice and debauchery, is to fasten names of contempt on certain virtues, and thus fill weak souls with a foolish fear of passing for scrupulous, should they desire to put them in practice.
Blaise Pascal
We see neither justice nor injustice which does not change its nature with change in climate. Three degrees of latitude reverse all jurisprudence a meridian decides the truth.
Blaise Pascal
Man's true nature being lost, everything becomes his nature as, his true good being lost, everything becomes his good.
Blaise Pascal
Words differently arranged have a different meaning, and meanings differently arranged have different effects.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination is the deceptive part in man, the mistress of error and falsehood.
Blaise Pascal
Having been unable to strengthen justice, we have justified strength.
Blaise Pascal
Necessity, that great refuge and excuse for human frailty, breaks through all law and he is not to be accounted in fault whose crime is not the effect of choice, but force.
Blaise Pascal
