Just as all things speak about God to those that know Him, and reveal Him to those that love Him, they also hide Him from all those that neither seek nor know Him.

More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Cold words freeze people, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words make them wrathful. Kind words also produce their own image on men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They smooth, and quiet, and comfort the hearer.
Blaise Pascal
All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.
Blaise Pascal
Desire and force between them are responsible for all our actions desire causes our voluntary acts, force our involuntary.
Blaise Pascal
It is an appalling thing to feel all one possesses drain away.
Blaise Pascal
All sorrow has its root in man's inability to sit quiet in a room by himself.
Blaise Pascal
Evil is easy, and has infinite forms.
Blaise Pascal
If magistrates had true justice, and if physicians had the true art of healing, they would have no occasion for square caps the majesty of these sciences would itself be venerable enough.
Blaise Pascal
We are so presumptuous that we wish to be known to all the world, even to those who come after us and we are so vain that the esteem of five or six persons immediately around us is enough to amuse and satisfy us.
Blaise Pascal
For nature is an image of Grace, and visible miracles are images of the invisible.
Blaise Pascal
Evil is easily discovered there is an infinite variety good is almost unique. But some kinds of evil are almost as difficult to discover as that which we call good and often particular evil of this class passes for good. It needs even a certain greatness of soul to attain to this, as to that which is good.
Blaise Pascal
All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.
Blaise Pascal
Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.
Blaise Pascal
The Christian religion teaches me two points-that there is a God whom men can know, and that their nature is so corrupt that they are unworthy of Him.
Blaise Pascal
It is the contest that delights us, and not the victory.
Blaise Pascal
St. Augustine teaches us that there is in each man a Serpent, an Eve, and an Adam. Our senses and natural propensities are the Serpent the excitable desire is the Eve and reason is the Adam. Our nature tempts us perpetually criminal desire is often excited but sin is not completed till reason consents.
Blaise Pascal
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
What part of us feels pleasure? Is it our hand, our arm, our flesh, or our blood? It must obviously be something immaterial.
Blaise Pascal
All great amusements are dangerous to the Christian life but among all those which the world has invented there is none more to be feared than the theater. It is a representation of the passions so natural and so delicate that it excites them and gives birth to them in our hearts, and, above all, to that of love.
Blaise Pascal
Quand on voit le style naturel, on est tout e tonne et ravi, car on s'attendait de voir un auteur, et on trouve un homme. When we see a natural style we are quite amazed and delighted, because we expected to see an author and find a man.
Blaise Pascal
How shall one who is so weak in his childhood become really strong when he grows older? We only change our fancies.
Blaise Pascal
