Image
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
Image
Man lives between the infinitely large and the infinitely small.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Mediocrity makes the most of its native possessions.
Blaise Pascal
Image
What reason have atheists for saying that we cannot rise again? That what has never been, should be, or that what has been, should be again? Is it more difficult to come into being than to return to it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.
Blaise Pascal
Image
When malice has reason on its side, it looks forth bravely, and displays that reason in all its luster. When austerity and self-denial have not realized true happiness, and the soul returns to the dictates of nature, the reaction is fearfully extravagant.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nothing is so conformable to reason as to disavow reason.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All men naturally hate one another. I hold it a fact, that if men knew exactly what one says of the other, there would not be four friends in the world.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Let it not be imagined that the life of a good Christian must be a life of melancholy and gloominess for he only resigns some pleasures to enjoy others infinitely better.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Truly it is an evil to be full of faults but it is a still greater evil to be full of them and to be unwilling to recognize them, since that is to add the further fault of a voluntary illusion.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All our reasoning boils down to yielding to sentiment.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
The majority is the best way, because it is visible, and has strength to make itself obeyed. Yet it is the opinion of the least able.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Those we call the ancients were really new in everything.
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
Happiness is neither within us, nor without us. It is in the union of ourselves with God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Our reason is always disappointed by the inconstancy of appearances.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Cold words freeze people, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words make them wrathful. Kind words also produce their own image on men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They smooth, and quiet, and comfort the hearer.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.
Blaise Pascal
