Image
We are never in search of things, but always in search of the search.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man is nothing but insincerity, falsehood, and hypocrisy, both in regard to himself and in regard to others. He does not wish that he should be told the truth, he shuns saying it to others and all these moods, so inconsistent with justice and reason, have their roots in his heart.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Thought makes the whole dignity of man therefore endeavor to think well, that is the only morality.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Lust is the source of all our actions, and humanity.
Blaise Pascal
Image
There was once in man a true happiness of which there now remain to him only the mark and empty trace, which he in vain tries to fill from all his surroundings, seeking from things absent the help he does not obtain in things present.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The God of the infinite is the God of the infinitesimal.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If we let ourselves believe that man began with divine grace, that he forfeited this by sin, and that he can be redeemed only by divine grace through the crucified Christ, then we shall find peace of mind never granted to philosophers. He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Our senses will not admit anything extreme. Too much noise confuses us, too much light dazzles us, too great distance or nearness prevents vision, too great prolixity or brevity weakens an argument, too much pleasure gives pain, too much accordance annoys.
Blaise Pascal
Image
People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they have themselves discovered than by those which have come in to the mind of others.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Happiness can be found neither in ourselves nor in external things, but in God and in ourselves as united to him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Just as all things speak about God to those that know Him, and reveal Him to those that love Him, they also hide Him from all those that neither seek nor know Him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The strength of a man's virtue should not be measured by his special exertions, but by his habitual acts.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We never do evil so effectually as when we are led to do it by a false principle of conscience.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The more intelligence one has, the more people one finds original. Commonplace people see no difference between men.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We only consult the ear because the heart is wanting.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The last thing we decide in writing a book is what to put first.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If magistrates had true justice, and if physicians had the true art of healing, they would have no occasion for square caps the majesty of these sciences would itself be venerable enough.
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
Continued eloquence is wearisome.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Brave deeds are wasted when hidden.
Blaise Pascal
