More quotes by Blaise Pascal
There are plenty of maxims in the world all that remains is to apply them.
Blaise Pascal
Force rules the world-not opinion but it is opinion that makes use of force.
Blaise Pascal
Even those who write against fame wish for the fame of having written well, and those who read their works desire the fame of having read them.
Blaise Pascal
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
We are not satisfied with real life we want to live some imaginary life in the eyes of other people and to seem different from what we actually are.
Blaise Pascal
The gospel to me is simply irresistible.
Blaise Pascal
All sorrow has its root in man's inability to sit quiet in a room by himself.
Blaise Pascal
I take it as a matter not to be disputed, that if all knew what each said of the other, there would not be four friends in the world. This seems proved by the quarrels and disputes caused by the disclosures which are occasionally made.
Blaise Pascal
Instead of complaining that God had hidden himself, you will give Him thanks for having revealed so much of Himself.
Blaise Pascal
In difficult times carry something beautiful in your heart.
Blaise Pascal
Our imagination so magnifies this present existence, by the power of continual reflection on it, and so attenuates eternity, by not thinking of it at all, that we reduce an eternity to nothingness, and expand a mere nothing to an eternity and this habit is so inveterately rooted in us that all the force of reason cannot induce us to lay it aside.
Blaise Pascal
The end point of rationality is to demonstrate the limits of rationality.
Blaise Pascal
Now, if the passions had no hold on us, a week and a hundred years would amount to the same.
Blaise Pascal
Pride counterbalances all our miseries, for it either hides them, or, if it discloses them, boasts of that disclosure. Pride has such a thorough possession of us, even in the midst of our miseries and faults, that we are prepared to sacrifice life with joy, if it may but be talked of.
Blaise Pascal
We only consult the ear because the heart is wanting.
Blaise Pascal
I am in the utmost perplexity, yand have wished a hundred times, that if there is a A God, nature would manifest him without ambiguity, and that if there is not, every imaginary sign of his existence might vanish : in short, let nature speak distinctly, or be totally silent, and I shall know what course to take.
Blaise Pascal
Rivers are highways that move on and bear us whither we wish to go.
Blaise Pascal
The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of... We know the truth not only by the reason, but by the heart. - Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal
Dans une grande a me tout est grand. In a great soul everything isgreat.
Blaise Pascal
Do you wish people to speak well of you? Then do not speak at all yourself.
Blaise Pascal
