At the centre of every human being is a God-shaped vacuum which can only be filled by Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Fashion is a tyrant from which nothing frees us. We must suit ourselves to its fantastic tastes. But being compelled to live under its foolish laws, the wise man is never the first to follow, nor the last to keep it.
Blaise Pascal

[On vanity:] The nose of Cleopatra: if it had been shorter, the face of the earth would have changed.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
Man's true nature being lost, everything becomes his nature as, his true good being lost, everything becomes his good.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If you want to be a real seeker of truth, you need to, at least once in your lifetime, doubt in, as much as it's possible, in everything.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Do little things as if they were great, because of the majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ who dwells in thee.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Human life is thus only an endless illusion. Men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does when we are gone. Society is based on mutual hypocrisy.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Those we call the ancients were really new in everything.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Passion cannot be beautiful without excess one either loves too much or not enough.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Now, if the passions had no hold on us, a week and a hundred years would amount to the same.
Blaise Pascal
