More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Christianity is strange. It bids man recognise that he is vile, even abominable, and bids him desire to be like God. Without such a counterpoise, this dignity would make him horribly vain, or this humiliation would make him terribly abject.
Blaise Pascal
If you want others to have a good opinion of you, say nothing.
Blaise Pascal
Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.
Blaise Pascal
If magistrates had true justice, and if physicians had the true art of healing, they would have no occasion for square caps the majesty of these sciences would itself be venerable enough.
Blaise Pascal
The principles of pleasure are not firm and stable. They are different in all mankind, and variable in every particular with such a diversity that there is no man more different from another than from himself at different times.
Blaise Pascal
The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory.
Blaise Pascal
If we regulate our conduct according to our own convictions, we may safely disregard the praise or censure of others.
Blaise Pascal
The world is ruled by force, not by opinion but opinion uses force.
Blaise Pascal
Necessity, that great refuge and excuse for human frailty, breaks through all law and he is not to be accounted in fault whose crime is not the effect of choice, but force.
Blaise Pascal
Faith affirms many things, respecting which the senses are silent, but nothing that they deny. It is superior, but never opposed to their testimony
Blaise Pascal
To doubt is a misfortune, but to seek when in doubt is an indispensable duty. So he who doubts and seeks not is at once unfortunate and unfair.
Blaise Pascal
Do they think that they have given us great pleasure by telling us that they hold our soul to be no more than wind or smoke, and saying it moreover in tones of pride and satisfaction? Is this then something to be said gaily? Is it not on the contrary something to be said sadly, as being the saddest thing in the world?
Blaise Pascal
Law, without force, is impotent.
Blaise Pascal
How vain painting is-we admire the realistic depiction of objects which in their original state we don't admire at all.
Blaise Pascal
Habit is a second nature, which destroys the first.
Blaise Pascal
Eloquence is a painting of thought and thus those who, after having painted it, add something more, make a picture instead of a portrait.
Blaise Pascal
Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
Blaise Pascal
Not the zeal alone of those who seek Him proves God, but the blindness of those who seek Him not.
Blaise Pascal
We like to be deceived.
Blaise Pascal
E? loquence quipersuade par douceur, non par empire, en tyran, non en roi. Eloquence should persuade gently, not by force or like a tyrant or king.
Blaise Pascal
