All sorrow has its root in man's inability to sit quiet in a room by himself.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If we dreamed the same thing every night, it would affect us much as the objects we see every day. And if a common workman were sure to dream every night for twelve hours that he was a king, I believe he would be almost as happy as a king who should dream every night for twelve hours on end that he was a common workman.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Tout notre raisonnement se re duit a' ce der au sentiment. All our reasoning comes down to surrendering to feeling.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We are usually convinced more easily by reasons we have found ourselves than by those which have occurred to others.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
If magistrates had true justice, and if physicians had the true art of healing, they would have no occasion for square caps the majesty of these sciences would itself be venerable enough.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
Force rules the world-not opinion but it is opinion that makes use of force.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We should seek the truth without hesitation and, if we refuse it, we show that we value the esteem of men more than the search for truth.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If we do not know ourselves to be full of pride, ambition, lust, weakness, misery, and injustice, we are indeed blind. And if, knowing this, we do not desire deliverance, what can we say of a man...?
Blaise Pascal
Image
Any unity which doesn't have its origin in the multitudes is tyranny.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
One has followed the other in an endless circle, for it is certain that as man's insight increases so he finds both wretchedness and greatness within himself. In a word man knows he is wretched. Thus he is wretched because he is so, but he is truly great because he knows it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To go beyond the bounds of moderation is to outrage humanity.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
The Fall is an offense to human reason, but once accepted, it makes perfect sense of the human condition.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is your own assent to yourself, and the constant voice of your own reason, and not of others, that should make you believe.
Blaise Pascal
Image
St. Augustine teaches us that there is in each man a Serpent, an Eve, and an Adam. Our senses and natural propensities are the Serpent the excitable desire is the Eve and reason is the Adam. Our nature tempts us perpetually criminal desire is often excited but sin is not completed till reason consents.

Those who are clever in imagination are far more pleased with themselves than prudent men could reasonably be.
Blaise Pascal
