More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Passion cannot be beautiful without excess one either loves too much or not enough.
Blaise Pascal
Happiness can be found neither in ourselves nor in external things, but in God and in ourselves as united to him.
Blaise Pascal
How can anyone lose who chooses to become a Christian? If, when he dies, there turns out to be no God and his faith was in vain, he has lost nothing...If, however, there is a God and a heaven and a hell. then he has gained heaven and his skeptical friends have lost everything.
Blaise Pascal
Dans une grande a me tout est grand. In a great soul everything isgreat.
Blaise Pascal
It is your own assent to yourself, and the constant voice of your own reason, and not of others, that should make you believe.
Blaise Pascal
Man's greatness is great in that he knows himself wretched. A tree does not know itself wretched. It is then being wretched to know oneself wretched but it is being great to know that one is wretched.
Blaise Pascal
Human life is thus only a perpetual illusion men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does of us in our absence. Human society is founded on mutual deceit few friendships would endure if each knew what his friend said of him in his absence, although he then spoke in sincerity and without passion.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination decides everything.
Blaise Pascal
Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.
Blaise Pascal
The Church limits her sacramental services to the faithful. Christ gave Himself upon the cross a ransom for all.
Blaise Pascal
The property of power is to protect.
Blaise Pascal
To go beyond the bounds of moderation is to outrage humanity. The greatness of the human soul is shown by knowing how to keep within proper bounds. There are two equally dangerous extremes- to shut reason out, and not to let nothing in.
Blaise Pascal
All evil stems from this-that we do. Know how to handle your solitude.
Blaise Pascal
You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend.
Blaise Pascal
In difficult times carry something beautiful in your heart.
Blaise Pascal
All mankind's unhappiness derives from one thing: his inability to know how to remain in repose in one room.
Blaise Pascal
It is right that what is just should be obeyed. It is necessary that what is strongest should be obeyed.
Blaise Pascal
Each one is all in all to himself for being dead, all is dead to him.
Blaise Pascal
We should seek the truth without hesitation and, if we refuse it, we show that we value the esteem of men more than the search for truth.
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
