Le moi est ha|«s sable. The self is hateful.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
Human life is thus only a perpetual illusion men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does of us in our absence. Human society is founded on mutual deceit few friendships would endure if each knew what his friend said of him in his absence, although he then spoke in sincerity and without passion.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If we let ourselves believe that man began with divine grace, that he forfeited this by sin, and that he can be redeemed only by divine grace through the crucified Christ, then we shall find peace of mind never granted to philosophers. He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
Blaise Pascal
Image

Blaise Pascal
Image
Law, without force, is impotent.

Blaise Pascal
Image
Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Death is easier to bear without thinking of it, than the thought of death without peril.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To make a man a saint, it must indeed be by grace and whoever doubts this does not know what a saint is, or a man.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If there were only one religion, God would indeed be manifest.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The multitude which does not reduce itself to unity is confusion.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We only consult the ear because the heart is wanting.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Thought makes the whole dignity of man therefore endeavor to think well, that is the only morality.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Seeing too much to deny and too little to be sure, I am in a state to be pitied.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nothing is good but mediocrity. The majority has settled that, and finds fault with him who escapes it at whichever end... To leave the mean is to abandon humanity.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
Few men speak humbly of humility, chastely of chastity, skeptically of skepticism.
Blaise Pascal
