More quotes by Blaise Pascal
When I have occasionally set myself to consider the different distractions of men, the pains and perils to which they expose themselves I have discovered that all the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.
Blaise Pascal
A jester, a bad character.
Blaise Pascal
Human life is thus only an endless illusion. Men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does when we are gone. Society is based on mutual hypocrisy.
Blaise Pascal
The great mass of people judge well of things, for they are in natural ignorance, which is man's true state.
Blaise Pascal
Our reason is always disappointed by the inconstancy of appearances.
Blaise Pascal
Two things control men's nature, instinct and experience.
Blaise Pascal
I maintain that, if everyone knew what others said about him, there would not be four friends in the world.
Blaise Pascal
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
To find recreation in amusement is not happiness.
Blaise Pascal
Passion cannot be beautiful without excess one either loves too much or not enough.
Blaise Pascal
Unless we love the truth we cannot know it.
Blaise Pascal
If men knew themselves, God would heal and pardon them.
Blaise Pascal
Do they think that they have given us great pleasure by telling us that they hold our soul to be no more than wind or smoke, and saying it moreover in tones of pride and satisfaction? Is this then something to be said gaily? Is it not on the contrary something to be said sadly, as being the saddest thing in the world?
Blaise Pascal
All evil stems from this-that we do. Know how to handle your solitude.
Blaise Pascal
When malice has reason on its side, it looks forth bravely, and displays that reason in all its luster. When austerity and self-denial have not realized true happiness, and the soul returns to the dictates of nature, the reaction is fearfully extravagant.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination is the deceptive part in man, the mistress of error and falsehood.
Blaise Pascal
Nature confuses the skeptics and reason confutes the dogmatists
Blaise Pascal
Human beings do not know their place and purpose. They have fallen from their true place, and lost their true purpose. They search everywhere for their place and purpose, with great anxiety. But they cannot find them because they are surrounded by darkness.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination decides everything.
Blaise Pascal
To doubt is a misfortune, but to seek when in doubt is an indispensable duty. So he who doubts and seeks not is at once unfortunate and unfair.
Blaise Pascal
