More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Excuse me, pray. Without that excuse I would not have known there was anything amiss.
Blaise Pascal
Seeing too much to deny and too little to be sure, I am in a state to be pitied.
Blaise Pascal
We conceal it from ourselves in vain - we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.
Blaise Pascal
It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have all one wants.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without a passion, without business, without entertainment, without care.
Blaise Pascal
It is not from space that I must seek my dignity, but from the government of my thought. I shall have no more if I possess worlds. By space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom by thought I comprehend the world.
Blaise Pascal
Il n'est pas certain que tout soit incertain. (Translation: It is not certain that everything is uncertain.)
Blaise Pascal
Curiosity is only vanity. We usually only want to know something so that we can talk about it.
Blaise Pascal
The multitude which does not reduce itself to unity is confusion.
Blaise Pascal
Force rules the world-not opinion but it is opinion that makes use of force.
Blaise Pascal
Men often take their imagination for their heart and they believe they are converted as soon as they think of being converted.
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
Man's true nature being lost, everything becomes his nature as, his true good being lost, everything becomes his good.
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
Earnestness is enthusiasm tempered by reason.
Blaise Pascal
The principles of pleasure are not firm and stable. They are different in all mankind, and variable in every particular with such a diversity that there is no man more different from another than from himself at different times.
Blaise Pascal
The statements of atheists ought to be perfectly clear of doubt. Now it is not perfectly clear that the soul is material.
Blaise Pascal
Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is surer than that the people will be weak.
Blaise Pascal
Beauty is a harmonious relation between something in our nature and the quality of the object which delights us.
Blaise Pascal
