More quotes by Blaise Pascal
If man should commence by studying himself, he would see how impossible it is to go further.
Blaise Pascal
Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.
Blaise Pascal
We only consult the ear because the heart is wanting.
Blaise Pascal
Unable to make what is just strong, we have made what is strong just.
Blaise Pascal
Man's true nature being lost, everything becomes his nature as, his true good being lost, everything becomes his good.
Blaise Pascal
One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.
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
Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. They make other people good-natured. They also produce their own image on men's souls, and a beautiful image it is.
Blaise Pascal
Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.
Blaise Pascal
Look for the truth, it wants to be found.
Blaise Pascal
All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.
Blaise Pascal
It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.
Blaise Pascal
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?
Blaise Pascal
If we examine our thoughts, we shall find them always occupied with the past or the future.
Blaise Pascal
Human beings do not know their place and purpose. They have fallen from their true place, and lost their true purpose. They search everywhere for their place and purpose, with great anxiety. But they cannot find them because they are surrounded by darkness.
Blaise Pascal
Making fun of philosophy is really philosophising.
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
Dans une grande a me tout est grand. In a great soul everything isgreat.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination is the deceptive part in man, the mistress of error and falsehood.
Blaise Pascal
Instead of complaining that God had hidden himself, you will give Him thanks for having revealed so much of Himself.
Blaise Pascal
