More quotes by Blaise Pascal
The serene, silent beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world, next to the night of God.
Blaise Pascal
Mankind suffers from two excesses: to exclude reason, and to live by nothing but reason.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without a passion, without business, without entertainment, without care.
Blaise Pascal
The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of... We know the truth not only by the reason, but by the heart. - Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal
Force rules the world-not opinion but it is opinion that makes use of force.
Blaise Pascal
Kind words produce their own image in men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used.
Blaise Pascal
Rivers are highways that move on and bear us whither we wish to go.
Blaise Pascal
Most of man's trouble comes from his inability to be still.
Blaise Pascal
The world is ruled by force, not by opinion but opinion uses force.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is more dastardly than to act with bravado toward God.
Blaise Pascal
If a man is not made for God, why is he happy only in God?
Blaise Pascal
When we read too fast or too slowly, we understand nothing.
Blaise Pascal
Human beings must be known to be loved but Divine beings must be loved to be known.
Blaise Pascal
Not only do we know God through Jesus Christ, we only know ourselves through Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing. We feel it in a thousand things. I say that the heart naturally loves the Universal Being, and naturally loves itself and it gives itself to one or the other, and hardens itself against one or the other, as it chooses...it is the heart that feels God, not the reason this is faith.
Blaise Pascal
When some passion or effect is described in a natural style, we find within ourselves the truth of what we hear, without knowing it was there.
Blaise Pascal
(Man,) the glory and the scandal of the universe.
Blaise Pascal
Those who do not hate their own selfishness and regard themselves as more important than the rest of the world are blind because the truth lies elsewhere
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
The property of power is to protect.
Blaise Pascal
