More quotes by Blaise Pascal

Image
Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We conceal it from ourselves in vain - we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Those who profess contempt for men, and put them on a level with beasts, yet wish to be admired and believed by men, and contradict themselves by their own feelings--their nature, which is stronger than all, convincing them of the greatness of man more forcibly than reason convinces them of his baseness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Human beings must be known to be loved but Divine beings must be loved to be known.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Law, without force, is impotent.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To have no time for philosophy is to be a true philosopher.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Most of man's trouble comes from his inability to be still.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Le silence e ternel de ces espaces infinis m'effraie. The eternal silence of these infinite spaces fills me with dread.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The method of not erring is sought by all the world. The logicians profess to guide it, the geometricians alone attain it, and apart from science, and the imitations of it, there are no true demonstrations.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Fire. God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers and the scholars. I will not forget thy word. Amen.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Not the zeal alone of those who seek Him proves God, but the blindness of those who seek Him not.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To understand is to forgive.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is not from space that I must seek my dignity, but from the government of my thought. I shall have no more if I possess worlds. By space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom by thought I comprehend the world.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
What matters it that man should have a little more knowledge of the universe? If he has it, he gets little higher. Is he not always infinitely removed from the end, and is not the duration of our life equally removed from eternity, even if it lasts ten years longer?
Blaise Pascal
Image
Habit is a second nature, which destroys the first.
Blaise Pascal
Image
When we wish to correct with advantage, and to show another that he errs, we must notice from what side he views the matter, for on that side it is usually true.
Blaise Pascal
