More quotes by Blaise Pascal
What use is it to us to hear it said of a man that he has thrown off the yoke that he does not believe there is a God to watch over his actions, that he reckons himself the sole master of his behavior, and that he does not intend to give an account of it to anyone but himself?
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal

For the present is generally painful to us.
Blaise Pascal
