It is not from space that I must seek my dignity, but from the government of my thought. I shall have no more if I possess worlds. By space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom by thought I comprehend the world.
Blaise Pascal

More quotes by Blaise Pascal
The imagination disposes of everything. It creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are the whole of the world.
Blaise Pascal
And is it not obvious that, just as it is a crime to disturb the peace when truth reigns, it is also a crime to remain at peace when the truth is being destroyed?
Blaise Pascal
If you want to be a real seeker of truth, you need to, at least once in your lifetime, doubt in, as much as it's possible, in everything.
Blaise Pascal
Fear not, provided you fear but if you fear not, then fear.
Blaise Pascal
Tout notre raisonnement se re duit a' ce der au sentiment. All our reasoning comes down to surrendering to feeling.
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

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
Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without a passion, without business, without entertainment, without care.
Blaise Pascal
When we read too fast or too slowly, we understand nothing.
Blaise Pascal
Great and small suffer the same mishaps.
Blaise Pascal
Le nez de Cle opa tre: s'il e u t e te plus court, toute la face de la terre aurait change . Cleopatra'snose: if it had beenshorter the whole face of the earth would have been different.
Blaise Pascal
Mediocrity makes the most of its native possessions.
Blaise Pascal
There are plenty of maxims in the world all that remains is to apply them.
Blaise Pascal
Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.
Blaise Pascal
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason.
Blaise Pascal
