Blaise Pascal
Image
In difficult times carry something beautiful in your heart.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The multitude which does not reduce itself to unity is confusion.
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

Blaise Pascal
Image
The multitude which is not brought to act as a unity, is confusion. That unity which has not its origin in the multitude is tyranny.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Image
It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have all one wants.
Blaise Pascal

All of our miseries prove our greatness. They are the miseries of a dethroned monarch.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man is so made that by continually telling him he is a fool he believes it, and by continually telling it to himself he makes himself believe it. For man holds an inward talk with himself, which it pays him to regulate.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All our life passes in this way: we seek rest by struggling against certain obstacles, and once they are overcome, rest proves intolerable because of the boredom it produces.
Blaise Pascal
Image
What reason have atheists for saying that we cannot rise again? That what has never been, should be, or that what has been, should be again? Is it more difficult to come into being than to return to it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
What a difficult thing it is to ask someone's advice on a matter without coloring his judgment by the way in which we present our problem.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The more intelligence one has, the more people one finds original. Commonplace people see no difference between men.

Wisdom leads us back to childhood.
