More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Rivers are roads which move, and which carry us whither we desire to go.
Blaise Pascal
Concupiscence and force are the source of all our actions concupiscence causes voluntary actions, force involuntary ones.
Blaise Pascal
All our dignity lies in our thoughts.
Blaise Pascal
All our life passes in this way: we seek rest by struggling against certain obstacles, and once they are overcome, rest proves intolerable because of the boredom it produces.
Blaise Pascal
All I know is that I must soon die, but what I know least is this very death which I cannot escape.
Blaise Pascal
The strength of a man's virtue should not be measured by his special exertions, but by his habitual acts.
Blaise Pascal
The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory.
Blaise Pascal
Vanity is so secure in the heart of man that everyone wants to be admired: even I who write this, and you who read this.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
It is your own assent to yourself, and the constant voice of your own reason, and not of others, that should make you believe.
Blaise Pascal
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.
Blaise Pascal
All great amusements are dangerous to the Christian life but among all those which the world has invented there is none more to be feared than the theater.

Blaise Pascal
Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
Blaise Pascal
Fashion is a tyrant from which nothing frees us. We must suit ourselves to its fantastic tastes. But being compelled to live under its foolish laws, the wise man is never the first to follow, nor the last to keep it.
Blaise Pascal
The majority is the best way, because it is visible, and has strength to make itself obeyed. Yet it is the opinion of the least able.
Blaise Pascal
Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?
Blaise Pascal
Dull minds are never either intuitive or mathematical.
Blaise Pascal
Words differently arranged have a different meaning, and meanings differently arranged have different effects.
Blaise Pascal
You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend.
Blaise Pascal
Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.
Blaise Pascal
