More quotes by Blaise Pascal
No soul of high estate can take pleasure in slander. It betrays a weakness.
Blaise Pascal
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal
He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
Blaise Pascal
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.
Blaise Pascal
No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.
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
Nothing is thoroughly approved but mediocrity. The majority has established this, and it fixes its fangs on whatever gets beyond it either way.
Blaise Pascal
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
Fear not, provided you fear but if you fear not, then fear.
Blaise Pascal
All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room.
Blaise Pascal
Words differently arranged have a different meaning, and meanings differently arranged have different effects.
Blaise Pascal
The last function of reason is to recognize that there are an infinity of things which surpass it.
Blaise Pascal
All mankind's unhappiness derives from one thing: his inability to know how to remain in repose in one room.
Blaise Pascal
The end point of rationality is to demonstrate the limits of rationality.
Blaise Pascal
It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have all one wants.
Blaise Pascal
It is certain that those who have the living faith in their hearts see at once that all existence is none other than the work of the God whom they adore. But for those in whom this light is extinguished, [if we were to show them our proofs of the existence of God] nothing is more calculated to arouse their contempt. . . .
Blaise Pascal
Il n'est pas certain que tout soit incertain. (Translation: It is not certain that everything is uncertain.)
Blaise Pascal
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.
Blaise Pascal
The great mass of people judge well of things, for they are in natural ignorance, which is man's true state.
Blaise Pascal
I should not be a Christian but for the miracles.
Blaise Pascal
