More quotes by Blaise Pascal
All man's troubles come from not knowing how to sit still in one room.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
The war existing between the senses and reason.
Blaise Pascal
I condemn equally those who choose to praise man, those who choose to condemn him and those who choose to divert themselves, and I can only approve of those who seek with groans.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
All sorrow has its root in man's inability to sit quiet in a room by himself.
Blaise Pascal
The exterior must be joined to the interior to obtain anything from God, that is to say, we must kneel, pray with the lips, and soon, in order that proud man, who would not submit himself to God, may be now subject to the creature.
Blaise Pascal
I cannot forgive Descartes. In all his philosophy he would have been quite willing to dispense with God. But he had to make Him give a fillip to set the world in motion beyond this, he has no further need of God.
Blaise Pascal
Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.
Blaise Pascal
I would have far more fear of being mistaken, and of finding that the Christian religion was true, than of not being mistaken in believing it true.
Blaise Pascal
