Two similar faces, neither of which alone causes laughter, use laughter when they are together, by their resemblance.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We should seek the truth without hesitation and, if we refuse it, we show that we value the esteem of men more than the search for truth.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nature, which alone is good, is wholly familiar and common.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Happiness is neither within us, nor without us. It is in the union of ourselves with God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is not certain that everything is uncertain.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We are so presumptuous that we wish to be known to all the world, even to those who come after us and we are so vain that the esteem of five or six persons immediately around us is enough to amuse and satisfy us.
Blaise Pascal
Image
I cannot forgive Descartes. In all his philosophy he would have been quite willing to dispense with God. But he had to make Him give a fillip to set the world in motion beyond this, he has no further need of God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.
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
If we must not act save on a certainty, we ought not to act on religion, for it is not certain. But how many things we do on an uncertainty, sea voyages, battles!
Blaise Pascal
Image
You gave me health that I might serve you and so often I failed to use my good health in your service. Now you send me sickness in order to correct me Grant that, having ignored the things of spirit when my body was vigorous, I may now enjoy spiritual sweetness while my body groans with pain.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The Fall is an offense to human reason, but once accepted, it makes perfect sense of the human condition.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We like to be deceived.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The multitude which does not reduce itself to unity is confusion.
Blaise Pascal
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
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
Image
Each man is everything to himself, for with his death everything is dead for him. That is why each of us thinks he is everything to everyone. We must not judge nature by ourselves, but by its own standards.
Blaise Pascal
Image
I can approve of those only who seek in tears for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If men knew themselves, God would heal and pardon them.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
