More quotes by Blaise Pascal

Image
On the occasions when I have pondered over men's various activities, the dangers and worries they are exposed to at Court or at war, from which so many quarrels, passions, risky, often ill-conceived actions and so on are born, I have often said that man's unhappiness springs from one thing alone, his incapacity to stay quietly in one room.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Instead of complaining that God had hidden himself, you will give Him thanks for having revealed so much of Himself.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Human beings must be known to be loved but Divine beings must be loved to be known.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Fire. God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers and the scholars. I will not forget thy word. Amen.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The mind must not be forced artificial and constrained manners fill it with foolish presumption, through unnatural elevation and vain and ridiculous inflation, instead of solid and vigorous nutriment.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The God of the infinite is the God of the infinitesimal.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Curiosity is only vanity. We usually only want to know something so that we can talk about it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
For as old age is that period of life most remote from infancy, who does not see that old age in this universal man ought not to be sought in the times nearest his birth, but in those most remote from it?
Blaise Pascal
Image
Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The Stoics say, Retire within yourselves it is there you will find your rest. And that is not true. Others say, Go out of yourselves seek happiness in amusement. And this is not true. Illness comes. Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Everyone, without exception, is searching for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Not only do we know God through Jesus Christ, we only know ourselves through Jesus Christ.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man is neither angel nor beast.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We only consult the ear because the heart is wanting.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Reason is the slow and torturous method by which those who do not know the truth discover it
Blaise Pascal
Image
Those who do not hate their own selfishness and regard themselves as more important than the rest of the world are blind because the truth lies elsewhere
Blaise Pascal
Image
Kind words produce their own image in men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used.
Blaise Pascal

Silence. All human unhappiness comes from not knowing how to stay quietly in a room.
Blaise Pascal
