More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Man is so made that if he is told often enough that he is a fool he believes it.
Blaise Pascal
The method of not erring is sought by all the world. The logicians profess to guide it, the geometricians alone attain it, and apart from science, and the imitations of it, there are no true demonstrations.
Blaise Pascal
The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of... We know the truth not only by the reason, but by the heart. - Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal
Nature confuses the skeptics and reason confutes the dogmatists
Blaise Pascal
I have made this letter longer than usual, only because I have not had the time to make it shorter.
Blaise Pascal
Do little things as if they were great, because of the majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ who dwells in thee.
Blaise Pascal
Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.
Blaise Pascal
The imagination disposes of everything. It creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are the whole of the world.
Blaise Pascal
Le silence e ternel de ces espaces infinis m'effraie. The eternal silence of these infinite spaces fills me with dread.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is so conformable to reason as to disavow reason.
Blaise Pascal
Everything that is written merely to please the author is worthless.
Blaise Pascal
Reason is the slow and torturous method by which those who do not know the truth discover it
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
[On vanity:] The nose of Cleopatra: if it had been shorter, the face of the earth would have changed.
Blaise Pascal
All man's troubles come from not knowing how to sit still in one room.
Blaise Pascal
Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.
Blaise Pascal
Passion cannot be beautiful without excess one either loves too much or not enough.
Blaise Pascal
True eloquence scorns eloquence.
Blaise Pascal
The gist is that good and evil are foreordained. What is foreordained comes necessarily to be after a prior act of divine volition...Rather, everything small and large is written and comes to be in a known and expected measure.
Blaise Pascal
I can approve of those only who seek in tears for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
