More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Law, without force, is impotent.
Blaise Pascal
If we let ourselves believe that man began with divine grace, that he forfeited this by sin, and that he can be redeemed only by divine grace through the crucified Christ, then we shall find peace of mind never granted to philosophers. He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
Blaise Pascal
Lust is the source of all our actions, and humanity.
Blaise Pascal
No soul of high estate can take pleasure in slander. It betrays a weakness.
Blaise Pascal
Excuse me, pray. Without that excuse I would not have known there was anything amiss.
Blaise Pascal
When intuition and logic agree, you are always right.
Blaise Pascal
It is the contest that delights us, and not the victory.
Blaise Pascal
Religion is so great a thing that it is right that those who will not take the trouble to seek it if it be obscure, should be deprived of it.
Blaise Pascal
All great amusements are dangerous to the Christian life but among all those which the world has invented there is none more to be feared than the theater. It is a representation of the passions so natural and so delicate that it excites them and gives birth to them in our hearts, and, above all, to that of love.
Blaise Pascal
Losses are comparative imagination only makes them of any moment.
Blaise Pascal
We are fools to depend upon the society of our fellow-men. Wretched as we are, powerless as we are, they will not aid us we shall die alone.
Blaise Pascal
A town, a landscape are when seen from afar a town and a landscape but as one gets nearer, there are houses, trees, tiles leaves, grasses, ants, legs of ants and so on to infinity. All this is subsumed under the name of landscape.
Blaise Pascal
Those we call the ancients were really new in everything.
Blaise Pascal
What a chimaera then is man, what a novelty, what a monster, what chaos, what a subject of contradiction, what a prodigy! Judge of all things, yet an imbecile earthworm depository of truth, yet a sewer of uncertainty and error pride and refuse of the universe. Who shall resolve this tangle?
Blaise Pascal
That dog is mine said those poor children that place in the sun is mine such is the beginning and type of usurpation throughout the earth. [Fr., Ce chien est a moi, disaient ces pauvres enfants c'est la ma place au soleil. Voila le commencement et l'image de l'usurpation de toute la terre.]
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
Thought makes the whole dignity of man therefore endeavor to think well, that is the only morality.
Blaise Pascal
Those are weaklings who know the truth and uphold it as long as it suits their purpose, and then abandon it.
Blaise Pascal
The Christian's God does not merely consist of a God who is the Author of mathematical truths and the order of the elements. The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of the Christians, is a God of love and consolation.
Blaise Pascal
If man were happy, he would be the more so, the less he was diverted, like the saints and God.
Blaise Pascal
