More quotes by Blaise Pascal
If man were happy, he would be the more so, the less he was diverted, like the saints and God.
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
Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.
Blaise Pascal
To speak freely of mathematics, I find it the highest exercise of the spirit but at the same time I know that it is so useless that I make little distinction between a man who is only a mathematician and a common artisan. Also, I call it the most beautiful profession in the world but it is only a profession.
Blaise Pascal
All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.
Blaise Pascal
Those who are clever in imagination are far more pleased with themselves than prudent men could reasonably be.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination decides everything.
Blaise Pascal
Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.
Blaise Pascal
The multitude which does not reduce itself to unity is confusion.
Blaise Pascal
Any unity which doesn't have its origin in the multitudes is tyranny.
Blaise Pascal
Rivers are highways that move on and bear us whither we wish to go.
Blaise Pascal
If a man is not made for God, why is he happy only in God?
Blaise Pascal
It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have all one wants.
Blaise Pascal
Man lives between the infinitely large and the infinitely small.
Blaise Pascal
In each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious.
Blaise Pascal
All man's troubles come from not knowing how to sit still in one room.
Blaise Pascal
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
The property of power is to protect.
Blaise Pascal
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
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
