More quotes by Blaise Pascal
The last advance of reason is to recognize that it is surpassed by innumerable things it is feeble if it cannot realize that.
Blaise Pascal
Distraction is the only thing that consoles us for our miseries. Yet it is itself the greatest of our miseries.
Blaise Pascal
What matters it that man should have a little more knowledge of the universe? If he has it, he gets little higher. Is he not always infinitely removed from the end, and is not the duration of our life equally removed from eternity, even if it lasts ten years longer?
Blaise Pascal
The war existing between the senses and reason.
Blaise Pascal
Justice is what is established and thus all our established laws will necessarily be regarded as just without examination, since they are established.
Blaise Pascal
In each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious.
Blaise Pascal
To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize.
Blaise Pascal
I cannot forgive Descartes. In all his philosophy he would have been quite willing to dispense with God. But he had to make Him give a fillip to set the world in motion beyond this, he has no further need of God.
Blaise Pascal
Death itself is less painful when it comes upon us unawares than the bare contemplation of it, even when danger is far distant.
Blaise Pascal
If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.
Blaise Pascal
Dull minds are never either intuitive or mathematical.
Blaise Pascal
Reason is the slow and torturous method by which those who do not know the truth discover it
Blaise Pascal
Custom determines what is agreeable.
Blaise Pascal
Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.
Blaise Pascal
There are two equally dangerous extremes-to shut reason out, and to let nothing else in.
Blaise Pascal
Tout notre raisonnement se re duit a' ce der au sentiment. All our reasoning comes down to surrendering to feeling.
Blaise Pascal
All err the more dangerously because each follows a truth. Their mistake lies not in following a falsehood but in not following another truth.
Blaise Pascal
Now, if the passions had no hold on us, a week and a hundred years would amount to the same.
Blaise Pascal
If it is an extraordinary blindness to live without investigating what we are, it is a terrible one to live an evil life, while believing in God
Blaise Pascal
The imagination disposes of everything. It creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are the whole of the world.
Blaise Pascal
