More quotes by Blaise Pascal
A few rules include all that is necessary for the perfection of the definitions, the axioms, and the demonstrations, and consequently of the entire method of the geometrical proofs of the art of persuading.
Blaise Pascal
Man is so made that if he is told often enough that he is a fool he believes it.
Blaise Pascal
Those who are clever in imagination are far more pleased with themselves than prudent men could reasonably be.
Blaise Pascal
Few men speak humbly of humility, chastely of chastity, skeptically of skepticism.
Blaise Pascal
The multitude which does not reduce itself to unity is confusion.
Blaise Pascal
Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?
Blaise Pascal
There was once in man a true happiness of which there now remain to him only the mark and empty trace, which he in vain tries to fill from all his surroundings, seeking from things absent the help he does not obtain in things present.
Blaise Pascal
The greatest single distinguishing feature of the omnipotence of God is that our imagination gets lost thinking about it.
Blaise Pascal
Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness... and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse him.
Blaise Pascal
Nature, which alone is good, is wholly familiar and common.
Blaise Pascal
Nature confuses the skeptics and reason confutes the dogmatists
Blaise Pascal
By thought I embrace the universe.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is thoroughly approved but mediocrity. The majority has established this, and it fixes its fangs on whatever gets beyond it either way.
Blaise Pascal
Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
Blaise Pascal
