Blaise Pascal
The weakness of human reason appears more evidently in those who know it not than in those who know it.
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
Nothing is more dastardly than to act with bravado toward God.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Any unity which doesn't have its origin in the multitudes is tyranny.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Man's true nature being lost, everything becomes his nature as, his true good being lost, everything becomes his good.
Blaise Pascal
Most of man's trouble comes from his inability to be still.
Blaise Pascal
If we dreamed the same thing every night, it would affect us much as the objects we see every day. And if a common workman were sure to dream every night for twelve hours that he was a king, I believe he would be almost as happy as a king who should dream every night for twelve hours on end that he was a common workman.
Blaise Pascal
The last function of reason is to recognize that there are an infinity of things which surpass it.
Blaise Pascal
