Unable to make what is just strong, we have made what is strong just.
Blaise Pascal

There are plenty of maxims in the world all that remains is to apply them.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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

Blaise Pascal
Image
To go beyond the bounds of moderation is to outrage humanity.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Kind words produce their own image in men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used.
Blaise Pascal

Nature confuses the skeptics and reason confutes the dogmatists
Blaise Pascal
Image
Il n'y a que deux sortes d'hommes: les uns justes, qui se croient pe cheurs les autres pe cheurs, qui se croient justes. There are only two types of people: the virtuous who believe themselves to be sinners and the sinners who believe themselves to be virtuous.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Making fun of philosophy is really philosophising.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Thinking too little about things or thinking too much both make us obstinate and fanatical.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We are so presumptuous that we should like to be known all over the world, even by people who will only come when we are no more. Such is our vanity that the good opinion of half a dozen of the people around us gives us pleasure and satisfaction.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man lives between the infinitely large and the infinitely small.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Not only do we know God through Jesus Christ, we only know ourselves through Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Our true dignity consists — in thought. Thence we must derive our elevation, not from space or duration. Let us endeavor then to think well this is the principle of morals.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The world is ruled by force, not by opinion but opinion uses force.
Blaise Pascal
Image
God has given us evidence sufficiently clear to convince those with an open heart and mind.
