Man's true nature being lost, everything becomes his nature as, his true good being lost, everything becomes his good.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Good deeds, when concealed, are the most admirable.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Let man then contemplate the whole of nature in her full and grand majesty... No idea approaches it. We may enlarge our conceptions beyond all imaginable space we only produce atoms in comparison with the reality of things. It is an infinite sphere, the center of which is everywhere, the circumference nowhere.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Curiosity is only vanity. We usually only want to know something so that we can talk about it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Justice is what is established and thus all our established laws will necessarily be regarded as just without examination, since they are established.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Do little things as if they were great, because of the majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ who dwells in thee.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Image

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
We are never in search of things, but always in search of the search.
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
Image
All err the more dangerously because each follows a truth. Their mistake lies not in following a falsehood but in not following another truth.
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
When I have occasionally set myself to consider the different distractions of men, the pains and perils to which they expose themselves I have discovered that all the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.
Blaise Pascal
Image
God has given us evidence sufficiently clear to convince those with an open heart and mind.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nature confuses the skeptics and reason confutes the dogmatists
Blaise Pascal
Image
The heart has arguments with which the logic of mind is not aquainted.
Blaise Pascal
