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.

More quotes by Blaise Pascal
(Man,) the glory and the scandal of the universe.
Blaise Pascal
The Fall is an offense to human reason, but once accepted, it makes perfect sense of the human condition.
Blaise Pascal
The statements of atheists ought to be perfectly clear of doubt. Now it is not perfectly clear that the soul is material.
Blaise Pascal
The war existing between the senses and reason.
Blaise Pascal
When we read too fast or too slowly, we understand nothing.
Blaise Pascal
If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.
Blaise Pascal
Seeing too much to deny and too little to be sure, I am in a state to be pitied.
Blaise Pascal
Those are weaklings who know the truth and uphold it as long as it suits their purpose, and then abandon it.
Blaise Pascal
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
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
We only consult the ear because the heart is wanting.
Blaise Pascal
We like to be deceived.
Blaise Pascal
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
Those who are clever in imagination are far more pleased with themselves than prudent men could reasonably be.
Blaise Pascal
All the good maxims which are in the world fail when applied to one's self.
Blaise Pascal
I condemn equally those who choose to praise man, those who choose to condemn him and those who choose to divert themselves, and I can only approve of those who seek with groans.
Blaise Pascal
Man's true nature being lost, everything becomes his nature as, his true good being lost, everything becomes his good.
Blaise Pascal
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
The last advance of reason is to recognize that it is surpassed by innumerable things it is feeble if it cannot realize that.
Blaise Pascal
Nature confuses the skeptics and reason confutes the dogmatists
Blaise Pascal
