Blaise Pascal
Image
The mind has its arrangement it proceeds from principles to demonstrations. The heart has a different mode of proceeding.
Blaise Pascal

All our dignity lies in our thoughts.
Blaise Pascal
Image
E? loquence quipersuade par douceur, non par empire, en tyran, non en roi. Eloquence should persuade gently, not by force or like a tyrant or king.
Blaise Pascal

It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.

If men knew themselves, God would heal and pardon them.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All mankind's troubles are caused by one single thing, which is their inability to sit quietly.

When we see an effect happen always in the same manner, we infer that it takes place by a natural necessity as, for instance, that the sun will rise to morrow but nature often deceives us, and will not submit to its own rules.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Silence. All human unhappiness comes from not knowing how to stay quietly in a room.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man's true nature being lost, everything becomes his nature as, his true good being lost, everything becomes his good.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Curiosity is nothing more than vanity. More often than not we only seek knowledge to show it off.
Blaise Pascal
Image
I can well conceive a man without hands, feet, head. But I cannot conceive man without thought he would be a stone or a brute.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Il n'est pas certain que tout soit incertain. (Translation: It is not certain that everything is uncertain.)
Blaise Pascal
Image
Those we call the ancients were really new in everything.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All the dignity of man consists in thought. Thought is therefore by its nature a wonderful and incomparable thing. It must have strange defects to be contemptible. But it has such, so that nothing is more ridiculous. How great it is in its nature! How vile it is in its defects! But what is this thought? How foolish it is!
Blaise Pascal
