Fire. God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers and the scholars. I will not forget thy word. Amen.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nothing is so conformable to reason as to disavow reason.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Symmetry is what we see at a glance based on the fact that there is no reason for any difference.
Blaise Pascal
Image
On the occasions when I have pondered over men's various activities, the dangers and worries they are exposed to at Court or at war, from which so many quarrels, passions, risky, often ill-conceived actions and so on are born, I have often said that man's unhappiness springs from one thing alone, his incapacity to stay quietly in one room.
Blaise Pascal

If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.
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
Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.
Blaise Pascal
Image
There is a lot of difference between tempting and leading into error. God tempts but does not lead into error. To tempt is to provide opportunities for us to do certain things if we do not love God, but putting us under no necessity to do so. To lead into error is to compel a man necessarily to conclude and follow a falsehood.

Great and small suffer the same mishaps.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Death is easier to bear without thinking of it, than the thought of death without peril.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The gospel to me is simply irresistible.
Blaise Pascal
Image
There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Those who profess contempt for men, and put them on a level with beasts, yet wish to be admired and believed by men, and contradict themselves by their own feelings--their nature, which is stronger than all, convincing them of the greatness of man more forcibly than reason convinces them of his baseness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
Eloquence is the painting of thought.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To find recreation in amusements is not happiness for this joy springs from alien and extrinsic sources, and is therefore dependent upon and subject to interruption by a thousand accidents, which may minister inevitable affliction.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Chance gives rise to thoughts, and chance removes them no art can keep or acquire them.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The state of man is inconstancy, ennui, anxiety.
Blaise Pascal
Image
God is, or He is not. But to which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here. There is an infinite chaos which separated us. A game is being played at the extremity of this infinite distance where heads or tails will turn up. What will you wager?
