More quotes by Blaise Pascal
We see neither justice nor injustice which does not change its nature with change in climate. Three degrees of latitude reverse all jurisprudence a meridian decides the truth.
Blaise Pascal
If man should commence by studying himself, he would see how impossible it is to go further.
Blaise Pascal
Fear not, provided you fear but if you fear not, then fear.
Blaise Pascal
Condition de l'homme: inconstance, ennui, inquie tude. Man's condition. Inconstancy, boredom, anxiety.
Blaise Pascal
Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. They make other people good-natured. They also produce their own image on men's souls, and a beautiful image it is.
Blaise Pascal
The more intelligence one has, the more people one finds original. Commonplace people see no difference between men.
Blaise Pascal
Those who do not hate their own selfishness and regard themselves as more important than the rest of the world are blind because the truth lies elsewhere
Blaise Pascal
Those we call the ancients were really new in everything.
Blaise Pascal
We are usually convinced more easily by reasons we have found ourselves than by those which have occurred to others.
Blaise Pascal
We should seek the truth without hesitation and, if we refuse it, we show that we value the esteem of men more than the search for truth.
Blaise Pascal
It is not shameful for a man to succumb to pain and it is shameful to succumb to pleasure.
Blaise Pascal
Let no one say that I have said nothing new... the arrangement of the subject is new. When we play tennis, we both play with the same ball, but one of us places it better.
Blaise Pascal
Good deeds, when concealed, are the most admirable.
Blaise Pascal
Death is easier to bear without thinking of it, than the thought of death without peril.
Blaise Pascal
From whence comes it that a cripple in body does not irritate us, and that a crippled mind enrages us? It is because a cripple sees that we go right, and a distorted mind says that it is we who go astray. But for that we should have more pity and less rage.
Blaise Pascal
Excuse me, pray. Without that excuse I would not have known there was anything amiss.
Blaise Pascal
What a chimaera then is man, what a novelty, what a monster, what chaos, what a subject of contradiction, what a prodigy! Judge of all things, yet an imbecile earthworm depository of truth, yet a sewer of uncertainty and error pride and refuse of the universe. Who shall resolve this tangle?
Blaise Pascal
Love has reasons which reason cannot understand.
Blaise Pascal
Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.
Blaise Pascal
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
