We are usually convinced more easily by reasons we have found ourselves than by those which have occurred to others.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The more intelligence one has, the more people one finds original. Commonplace people see no difference between men.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Our imagination so magnifies this present existence, by the power of continual reflection on it, and so attenuates eternity, by not thinking of it at all, that we reduce an eternity to nothingness, and expand a mere nothing to an eternity and this habit is so inveterately rooted in us that all the force of reason cannot induce us to lay it aside.
Blaise Pascal

That dog is mine said those poor children that place in the sun is mine such is the beginning and type of usurpation throughout the earth. [Fr., Ce chien est a moi, disaient ces pauvres enfants c'est la ma place au soleil. Voila le commencement et l'image de l'usurpation de toute la terre.]
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
Those great efforts of intellect, upon which the mind sometimes touches, are such that it cannot maintain itself there. It only leaps to them, not as upon a throne, forever, but merely for an instant.
Blaise Pascal
Image
St. Augustine teaches us that there is in each man a Serpent, an Eve, and an Adam. Our senses and natural propensities are the Serpent the excitable desire is the Eve and reason is the Adam. Our nature tempts us perpetually criminal desire is often excited but sin is not completed till reason consents.
Blaise Pascal

Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.
Blaise Pascal
