More quotes by Blaise Pascal
All evil stems from this-that we do. Know how to handle your solitude.
Blaise Pascal
All men naturally hate each other. We have used concupiscence as best we can to make it serve the common good, but this is mere sham and a false image of charity, for essentially it is just hate.
Blaise Pascal
Man's grandeur is that he knows himself to be miserable.
Blaise Pascal
Continued eloquence is wearisome.
Blaise Pascal
Not only do we know God through Jesus Christ, we only know ourselves through Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
All mankind's troubles are caused by one single thing, which is their inability to sit quietly.
Blaise Pascal
Rivers are roads which move, and which carry us whither we desire to go.
Blaise Pascal
What matters it that man should have a little more knowledge of the universe? If he has it, he gets little higher. Is he not always infinitely removed from the end, and is not the duration of our life equally removed from eternity, even if it lasts ten years longer?
Blaise Pascal
Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.
Blaise Pascal
There are vices which have no hold upon us, but in connection with others and which, when you cut down the trunk, fall like the branches.
Blaise Pascal
We must know where to doubt, where to feel certain, where to submit. He who does not do so, understands not the force of reason.
Blaise Pascal
Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is so conformable to reason as to disavow reason.
Blaise Pascal
All man's troubles come from not knowing how to sit still in one room.
Blaise Pascal
Look for the truth, it wants to be found.
Blaise Pascal
Chess is the gymnasium of the mind.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination decides everything.
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
All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room.
Blaise Pascal
I would have far more fear of being mistaken, and of finding that the Christian religion was true, than of not being mistaken in believing it true.
Blaise Pascal
