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.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Losses are comparative imagination only makes them of any moment.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All men are almost led to believe not of proof, but by attraction. This way is base, ignoble, and irrelevant every one therefore disavows it. Each one professes to believe and even to love nothing but what he knows to be worthy of belief and love.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The two principles of truth, reason and senses, are not only both not genuine, but are engaged in mutual deception. The senses deceive reason through false appearances, and the senses are disturbed by passions, which produce false impressions.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To be mistaken in believing that the Christian religion is true is no great loss to anyone but how dreadful to be mistaken in believing it to be false!
Blaise Pascal
Image
All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.
Blaise Pascal

The exterior must be joined to the interior to obtain anything from God, that is to say, we must kneel, pray with the lips, and soon, in order that proud man, who would not submit himself to God, may be now subject to the creature.
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
The mind has its arrangement it proceeds from principles to demonstrations. The heart has a different mode of proceeding.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Dans une grande a me tout est grand. In a great soul everything isgreat.
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
Our reason is always disappointed by the inconstancy of appearances.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Reason is the slow and torturous method by which those who do not know the truth discover it
Blaise Pascal
Image
Reason's last step is to acknowledge that there are infinitely many things beyond it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is the contest that delights us, and not the victory.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Seeing too much to deny and too little to be sure, I am in a state to be pitied.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nothing is more dastardly than to act with bravado toward God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Do little things as if they were great, because of the majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ who dwells in thee.
Blaise Pascal
Image
What use is it to us to hear it said of a man that he has thrown off the yoke that he does not believe there is a God to watch over his actions, that he reckons himself the sole master of his behavior, and that he does not intend to give an account of it to anyone but himself?
Blaise Pascal
Image
Human life is thus only an endless illusion. Men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does when we are gone. Society is based on mutual hypocrisy.
Blaise Pascal
