More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Those who are clever in imagination are far more pleased with themselves than prudent men could reasonably be.
Blaise Pascal
All mankind's troubles are caused by one single thing, which is their inability to sit quietly.
Blaise Pascal
The greater intellect one has, the more originality one finds in men. Ordinary persons find no difference between men.
Blaise Pascal
Each one is all in all to himself for being dead, all is dead to him.
Blaise Pascal
It is not only old and early impressions that deceive us the charms of novelty have the same power.
Blaise Pascal
God has given us evidence sufficiently clear to convince those with an open heart and mind.
Blaise Pascal
Il n'est pas certain que tout soit incertain. (Translation: It is not certain that everything is uncertain.)
Blaise Pascal
Who knows if this other half of life where we think we're awake is not another sleep a little different from the first.
Blaise Pascal
The majority is the best way, because it is visible, and has strength to make itself obeyed. Yet it is the opinion of the least able.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is good but mediocrity. The majority has settled that, and finds fault with him who escapes it at whichever end... To leave the mean is to abandon humanity.
Blaise Pascal
The Christian religion teaches me two points-that there is a God whom men can know, and that their nature is so corrupt that they are unworthy of Him.
Blaise Pascal
Happiness is neither within us, nor without us. It is in the union of ourselves with God.
Blaise Pascal
Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.
Blaise Pascal
For as old age is that period of life most remote from infancy, who does not see that old age in this universal man ought not to be sought in the times nearest his birth, but in those most remote from it?
Blaise Pascal
(Man,) the glory and the scandal of the universe.
Blaise Pascal
Nature, which alone is good, is wholly familiar and common.
Blaise Pascal
When some passion or effect is described in a natural style, we find within ourselves the truth of what we hear, without knowing it was there.
Blaise Pascal
Vanity is so secure in the heart of man that everyone wants to be admired: even I who write this, and you who read this.
Blaise Pascal
The mind naturally makes progress, and the will naturally clings to objects so that for want of right objects, it will attach itself to wrong ones.
Blaise Pascal
This is what I see, and what troubles me. I look on all sides, and everywhere I see nothing but obscurity. Nature offers me nothing that is not a matter of doubt and disquiet.
Blaise Pascal
