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
Image
The statements of atheists ought to be perfectly clear of doubt. Now it is not perfectly clear that the soul is material.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Since we cannot be universal and know all that is to be known of everything, we ought to know a little about everything. For it is far better to know something about everything than to know all about one thing. This universality is the best. If we can have both, still better but if we must choose, we ought to choose the former.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We must know where to doubt, where to feel certain, where to submit. He who does not do so, understands not the force of reason.

Man's greatness is great in that he knows himself wretched. A tree does not know itself wretched. It is then being wretched to know oneself wretched but it is being great to know that one is wretched.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is a dangerous experiment to call in gratitude as an ally to love. Love is a debt which inclination always pays, obligation never.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The property of power is to protect.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is not only old and early impressions that deceive us the charms of novelty have the same power.
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
Not only do we know God through Jesus Christ, we only know ourselves through Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Losses are comparative imagination only makes them of any moment.
Blaise Pascal
Image
I condemn equally those who choose to praise man, those who choose to condemn him and those who choose to divert themselves, and I can only approve of those who seek with groans.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The gospel to me is simply irresistible.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
