More quotes by Blaise Pascal
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
By thought I embrace the universe.
Blaise Pascal
Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.
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
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason.
Blaise Pascal
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
All err the more dangerously because each follows a truth. Their mistake lies not in following a falsehood but in not following another truth.
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
For nature is an image of Grace, and visible miracles are images of the invisible.
Blaise Pascal
When some passion or effect is described in a natural style, we find within ourselves the truth of what we hear, without knowing it was there.
Blaise Pascal
I should not be a Christian but for the miracles.
Blaise Pascal
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
I bring you the gift of these four words: I believe in you.
Blaise Pascal
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal
Man lives between the infinitely large and the infinitely small.
Blaise Pascal
Ugly deeds are most estimable when hidden.
Blaise Pascal
Justice is what is established and thus all our established laws will necessarily be regarded as just without examination, since they are established.
Blaise Pascal
Il n'est pas certain que tout soit incertain. (Translation: It is not certain that everything is uncertain.)
Blaise Pascal
Christian piety annihilates the egoism of the heart worldly politeness veils and represses it.
Blaise Pascal
Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.
Blaise Pascal
