More quotes by Blaise Pascal
If we do not know ourselves to be full of pride, ambition, lust, weakness, misery, and injustice, we are indeed blind. And if, knowing this, we do not desire deliverance, what can we say of a man...?
Blaise Pascal
The only shame is to have none.
Blaise Pascal
Excuse me, pray. Without that excuse I would not have known there was anything amiss.
Blaise Pascal
What part of us feels pleasure? Is it our hand, our arm, our flesh, or our blood? It must obviously be something immaterial.
Blaise Pascal
Habit is a second nature, which destroys the first.
Blaise Pascal
All of our miseries prove our greatness. They are the miseries of a dethroned monarch.
Blaise Pascal
The principles of pleasure are not firm and stable. They are different in all mankind, and variable in every particular with such a diversity that there is no man more different from another than from himself at different times.
Blaise Pascal
Do you wish people to speak well of you? Then do not speak at all yourself.
Blaise Pascal
Education produces natural intuitions, and natural intuitions are erased by education.
Blaise Pascal
Not only do we know God by Jesus Christ alone, but we know ourselves only by Jesus Christ. We know life and death only through Jesus Christ. Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.
Blaise Pascal
The end point of rationality is to demonstrate the limits of rationality.
Blaise Pascal
Man's grandeur is that he knows himself to be miserable.
Blaise Pascal
The last act is bloody, however pleasant all the rest of the play is: a little earth is thrown at last upon our head, and that is the end forever.
Blaise Pascal
The war existing between the senses and reason.
Blaise Pascal
Everyone, without exception, is searching for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.
Blaise Pascal
He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
Blaise Pascal
Human life is thus only a perpetual illusion men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does of us in our absence. Human society is founded on mutual deceit few friendships would endure if each knew what his friend said of him in his absence, although he then spoke in sincerity and without passion.
Blaise Pascal
Unable to make what is just strong, we have made what is strong just.
Blaise Pascal
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
