More quotes by 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
True eloquence makes light of eloquence. True morality makes light of morality.
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
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
If there were only one religion, God would indeed be manifest.
Blaise Pascal
At the centre of every human being is a God-shaped vacuum which can only be filled by Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
Law, without force, is impotent.
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
The stream is always purer at its source. [Fr., Les choses valent toujours mieux dans leur source.]
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Fashion is a tyrant from which nothing frees us. We must suit ourselves to its fantastic tastes. But being compelled to live under its foolish laws, the wise man is never the first to follow, nor the last to keep it.
Blaise Pascal
Force rules the world-not opinion but it is opinion that makes use of force.
Blaise Pascal
All man's troubles come from not knowing how to sit still in one room.
Blaise Pascal
All our life passes in this way: we seek rest by struggling against certain obstacles, and once they are overcome, rest proves intolerable because of the boredom it produces.
Blaise Pascal
The greatest single distinguishing feature of the omnipotence of God is that our imagination gets lost thinking about it.
Blaise Pascal
Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed.
Blaise Pascal
To go beyond the bounds of moderation is to outrage humanity.
Blaise Pascal
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason.
Blaise Pascal
