Image
If a man loves a woman for her beauty, does he love her? No for the smallpox, which destroys her beauty without killing her, causes his love to cease. And if any one loves me for my judgment or my memory, does he really love me? No for I can lose these qualities without ceasing to be.

All mankind's unhappiness derives from one thing: his inability to know how to remain in repose in one room.
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.

By thought I embrace the universe.
Blaise Pascal

Our true dignity consists — in thought. Thence we must derive our elevation, not from space or duration. Let us endeavor then to think well this is the principle of morals.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If you believe in God you are at no disadvantage in this life, and at considerable advantage in the next. If you do not believe, but find in the next that there was a next, you are most unfortunate!
Blaise Pascal
Image
He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God's providence to lead him aright.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The imagination enlarges little objects so as to fill our souls with a fantastic estimate and, with rash insolence, it belittles the great to its own measure, as when talking of God.
