More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Reason is the slow and torturous method by which those who do not know the truth discover it
Blaise Pascal
Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Blaise Pascal
When malice has reason on its side, it looks forth bravely, and displays that reason in all its luster. When austerity and self-denial have not realized true happiness, and the soul returns to the dictates of nature, the reaction is fearfully extravagant.
Blaise Pascal
A jester, a bad character.
Blaise Pascal
Habit is a second nature, which destroys the first.
Blaise Pascal
Men are so completely fools by necessity that he is but a fool in a higher strain of folly who does not confess his foolishness.
Blaise Pascal
Human beings do not know their place and purpose. They have fallen from their true place, and lost their true purpose. They search everywhere for their place and purpose, with great anxiety. But they cannot find them because they are surrounded by darkness.
Blaise Pascal
The imagination enlarges little objects so as to fill our souls with a fantastic estimate and, with rash insolence, it belittles the great to its own measure, as when talking of God.
Blaise Pascal
No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.
Blaise Pascal
The last thing we decide in writing a book is what to put first.
Blaise Pascal
There is enough light for those who only desire to see, and enough obscurity for those who have a contrary disposition
Blaise Pascal
Eloquence is a painting of thought and thus those who, after having painted it, add something more, make a picture instead of a portrait.
Blaise Pascal
We only consult the ear because the heart is wanting.
Blaise Pascal
All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.
Blaise Pascal
True eloquence scorns eloquence.
Blaise Pascal
Man is so made that if he is told often enough that he is a fool he believes it.
Blaise Pascal
The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble.
Blaise Pascal
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
If it is an extraordinary blindness to live without investigating what we are, it is a terrible one to live an evil life, while believing in God
Blaise Pascal
We have so exalted a notion of the human soul that we cannot bear to be despised, or even not to be esteemed by it. Man, in fact, places all his happiness in this esteem.
Blaise Pascal
