More quotes by Blaise Pascal

Image
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nothing is so conformable to reason as to disavow reason.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All evil stems from this-that we do. Know how to handle your solitude.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If a man is not made for God, why is he happy only in God?
Blaise Pascal
Image
Cold words freeze people, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words make them wrathful. Kind words also produce their own image on men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They smooth, and quiet, and comfort the hearer.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Il n'est pas certain que tout soit incertain. (Translation: It is not certain that everything is uncertain.)
Blaise Pascal
Image
Kind words produce their own image in men's souls and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Curiosity is only vanity. We usually only want to know something so that we can talk about it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If man were happy, he would be the more so, the less he was diverted, like the saints and God.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Chess is the gymnasium of the mind.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The more intelligent a man is, the more originality he discovers in others.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Who knows if this other half of life where we think we're awake is not another sleep a little different from the first.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If we regulate our conduct according to our own convictions, we may safely disregard the praise or censure of others.
Blaise Pascal
Image
There are vices which have no hold upon us, but in connection with others and which, when you cut down the trunk, fall like the branches.
Blaise Pascal
Image
True eloquence makes light of eloquence, true morality makes light of morality that is to say, the morality of the judgment, which has no rules, makes light of the morality of the intellect.... To make light of philosophy is to be a true philosopher.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The strength of a man's virtue should not be measured by his special exertions, but by his habitual acts.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We are only troubled by the fears which we, and not nature, give ourselves, for they add to the state in which we are the passions of the state in which we are not.
Blaise Pascal
