Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
Blaise Pascal
Image
There is enough light for those who only desire to see, and enough obscurity for those who have a contrary disposition
Blaise Pascal
Image
All mankind's unhappiness derives from one thing: his inability to know how to remain in repose in one room.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason.
Blaise Pascal

Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All great amusements are dangerous to the Christian life but among all those which the world has invented there is none more to be feared than the theater. It is a representation of the passions so natural and so delicate that it excites them and gives birth to them in our hearts, and, above all, to that of love.
Blaise Pascal
Image
On the occasions when I have pondered over men's various activities, the dangers and worries they are exposed to at Court or at war, from which so many quarrels, passions, risky, often ill-conceived actions and so on are born, I have often said that man's unhappiness springs from one thing alone, his incapacity to stay quietly in one room.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Without the knowledge of our wretchedness, the knowledge of God creates pride. With it, the knowledge of God creates despair. The knowledge of Christ offers a third way, because in him we find both God and our wretchedness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
L'homme n'est qu'un sujet plein d'erreur, naturelle et ineffa c° able sans la gra ce. Man is nothing but a subject full of natural error that cannot be eradicated except through grace.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Since we cannot be universal and know all that is to be known of everything, we ought to know a little about everything. For it is far better to know something about everything than to know all about one thing. This universality is the best. If we can have both, still better but if we must choose, we ought to choose the former.
Blaise Pascal
Image
He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
Blaise Pascal
Image
I can well conceive a man without hands, feet, head. But I cannot conceive man without thought he would be a stone or a brute.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Cold words freeze people, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words make them wrathful. Kind words also produce their own image on men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They smooth, and quiet, and comfort the hearer.
Blaise Pascal
