Image
Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness... and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Death itself is less painful when it comes upon us unawares than the bare contemplation of it, even when danger is far distant.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Bless yourself with holy water, have Masses said, and so on by a simple and natural process this will make you believe, and will dull you - will quiet your proudly critical intellect.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Image
All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.
Blaise Pascal
Image
There is nothing that we can see on earth which does not either show the wretchedness of man or the mercy of God. One either sees the powerlessness of man without God, or the strength of man with God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We never do evil so effectually as when we are led to do it by a false principle of conscience.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man is neither angel nor beast.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Everything that is written merely to please the author is worthless.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Do you wish people to speak well of you? Then do not speak at all yourself.
Blaise Pascal
Image
When intuition and logic agree, you are always right.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All man's troubles come from not knowing how to sit still in one room.
Blaise Pascal
Image
What a chimaera then is man, what a novelty, what a monster, what chaos, what a subject of contradiction, what a prodigy! Judge of all things, yet an imbecile earthworm depository of truth, yet a sewer of uncertainty and error pride and refuse of the universe. Who shall resolve this tangle?
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
There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.
Blaise Pascal
