If a man is not made for God, why is he happy only in God?
Blaise Pascal
Image
Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.
Blaise Pascal
Image
When we see an effect happen always in the same manner, we infer that it takes place by a natural necessity as, for instance, that the sun will rise to morrow but nature often deceives us, and will not submit to its own rules.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Truly it is an evil to be full of faults but it is a still greater evil to be full of them and to be unwilling to recognize them, since that is to add the further fault of a voluntary illusion.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Flies are so mighty that they win battles, paralyse our minds, eat up our bodies.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Look for the truth, it wants to be found.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nothing is more dastardly than to act with bravado toward God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All men naturally hate one another. I hold it a fact, that if men knew exactly what one says of the other, there would not be four friends in the world.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Now, if the passions had no hold on us, a week and a hundred years would amount to the same.
Blaise Pascal
Image
What matters it that man should have a little more knowledge of the universe? If he has it, he gets little higher. Is he not always infinitely removed from the end, and is not the duration of our life equally removed from eternity, even if it lasts ten years longer?
Blaise Pascal
Image
If he exalts himself, I humble him. If he humbles himself, I exalt him. And I go on contradicting him Until he understands That he is a monster that passes all understanding.
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
God has given us evidence sufficiently clear to convince those with an open heart and mind.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Rivers are roads which move, and which carry us whither we desire to go.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Do you wish people to speak well of you? Then do not speak at all yourself.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Justice is what is established and thus all our established laws will necessarily be regarded as just without examination, since they are established.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is not certain that everything is uncertain.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Reason is the slow and torturous method by which those who do not know the truth discover it
Blaise Pascal
Image
Imagination cannot make fools wise, but it makes them happy, as against reason, which only makes its friends wretched: one covers them with glory, the other with shame.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.
Blaise Pascal
