More quotes by Blaise Pascal
No soul of high estate can take pleasure in slander. It betrays a weakness.
Blaise Pascal
True eloquence scorns eloquence.
Blaise Pascal
When we read too fast or too slowly, we understand nothing.
Blaise Pascal
We are never in search of things, but always in search of the search.
Blaise Pascal
Eloquence is a painting of thought and thus those who, after having painted it, add something more, make a picture instead of a portrait.
Blaise Pascal
The incredulous are the more credulous. They believe the miracles of Vespasian that they may not believe those of Moses. [Fr., Incredules les plus credules. Ils croient les miracle de Vespasien, pour ne pas croire ceux de Moise.]
Blaise Pascal
Description of man: dependence, longing for independence, need.
Blaise Pascal
Having been unable to strengthen justice, we have justified strength.
Blaise Pascal
Kind words produce their own image in men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used.
Blaise Pascal
Ugly deeds are most estimable when hidden.
Blaise Pascal
The great mass of people judge well of things, for they are in natural ignorance, which is man's true state.
Blaise Pascal
There are plenty of maxims in the world all that remains is to apply them.
Blaise Pascal
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
Chance gives rise to thoughts, and chance removes them no art can keep or acquire them.
Blaise Pascal
Without the knowledge of our wretchedness, the knowledge of God creates pride. With it, the knowledge of God creates despair. The knowledge of Christ offers a third way, because in him we find both God and our wretchedness.
Blaise Pascal
From whence comes it that a cripple in body does not irritate us, and that a crippled mind enrages us? It is because a cripple sees that we go right, and a distorted mind says that it is we who go astray. But for that we should have more pity and less rage.
Blaise Pascal
The married should not forget that to speak of love begets love.
Blaise Pascal
The world is ruled by force, not by opinion but opinion uses force.
Blaise Pascal
Cold words freeze people, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words make them wrathful. Kind words also produce their own image on men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They smooth, and quiet, and comfort the hearer.
Blaise Pascal
Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.
Blaise Pascal
