Blaise Pascal
Brave deeds are wasted when hidden.
Blaise Pascal
Faith affirms many things, respecting which the senses are silent, but nothing that they deny. It is superior, but never opposed to their testimony
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
The last act is bloody, however pleasant all the rest of the play is: a little earth is thrown at last upon our head, and that is the end forever.
Blaise Pascal
Habit is a second nature, which destroys the first.
Blaise Pascal
The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
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

Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.
Blaise Pascal
Silence. All human unhappiness comes from not knowing how to stay quietly in a room.
Blaise Pascal
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
We are so presumptuous that we should like to be known all over the world, even by people who will only come when we are no more. Such is our vanity that the good opinion of half a dozen of the people around us gives us pleasure and satisfaction.
Blaise Pascal
To make a man a saint, it must indeed be by grace and whoever doubts this does not know what a saint is, or a man.
Blaise Pascal
