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
Our achievements of today are but the sum total of our thoughts of yesterday.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If you want others to have a good opinion of you, say nothing.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Image
Thinking too little about things or thinking too much both make us obstinate and fanatical.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Faith affirms many things, respecting which the senses are silent, but nothing that they deny. It is superior, but never opposed to their testimony
Blaise Pascal
Image
People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they have themselves discovered than by those which have come in to the mind of others.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Imagination decides everything.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Happiness can be found neither in ourselves nor in external things, but in God and in ourselves as united to him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We know truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The secrets of nature are concealed her agency is perpetual, but we do not always discover its effects time reveals them from age to age and although she is always the same in herself, she is not always equally well known.
Blaise Pascal
Image
What reason have atheists for saying that we cannot rise again? That what has never been, should be, or that what has been, should be again? Is it more difficult to come into being than to return to it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Excuse me, pray. Without that excuse I would not have known there was anything amiss.
Blaise Pascal
