He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God's providence to lead him aright.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Making fun of philosophy is really philosophising.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We are usually convinced more easily by reasons we have found ourselves than by those which have occurred to others.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The Fall is an offense to human reason, but once accepted, it makes perfect sense of the human condition.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If you believe in God you are at no disadvantage in this life, and at considerable advantage in the next. If you do not believe, but find in the next that there was a next, you are most unfortunate!
Blaise Pascal
Image
Reason's last step is to acknowledge that there are infinitely many things beyond it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Lust is the source of all our actions, and humanity.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Pride counterbalances all our miseries, for it either hides them, or, if it discloses them, boasts of that disclosure. Pride has such a thorough possession of us, even in the midst of our miseries and faults, that we are prepared to sacrifice life with joy, if it may but be talked of.

Not to be mad is another form of madness
Blaise Pascal
Image
Let no one say that I have said nothing new... the arrangement of the subject is new. When we play tennis, we both play with the same ball, but one of us places it better.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Dull minds are never either intuitive or mathematical.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To speak freely of mathematics, I find it the highest exercise of the spirit but at the same time I know that it is so useless that I make little distinction between a man who is only a mathematician and a common artisan. Also, I call it the most beautiful profession in the world but it is only a profession.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
Imagination magnifies small objects with fantastic exaggeration until they fill our soul, and with bold insolence cuts down great things to its own size, as when speaking of God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The God of the infinite is the God of the infinitesimal.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Habit is a second nature, which destroys the first.
Blaise Pascal
Image
That something so obvious as the vanity of the world should be so little recognized that people find it odd and surprising to be told that it is foolish to seek greatness that is most remarkable.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The two principles of truth, reason and senses, are not only both not genuine, but are engaged in mutual deception. The senses deceive reason through false appearances, and the senses are disturbed by passions, which produce false impressions.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All I know is that I must soon die, but what I know least is this very death which I cannot escape.
Blaise Pascal

If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.
Blaise Pascal
