More quotes by Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
It is an appalling thing to feel all one possesses drain away.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Everyone, without exception, is searching for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
How shall one who is so weak in his childhood become really strong when he grows older? We only change our fancies.
Blaise Pascal
Chess is the gymnasium of the mind.
Blaise Pascal
The heart has arguments with which the logic of mind is not aquainted.
Blaise Pascal
All the good maxims which are in the world fail when applied to one's self.
