Our achievements of today are but the sum total of our thoughts of yesterday.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If a man is not made for God, why is he happy only in God?
Blaise Pascal
Image
We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end. When we think to attach ourselves to any pointand to fasten to it, it wavers and leaves us and if we follow it, it eludes our grasp, slips past us, and vanishes for ever. Nothing stays for us.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All evil stems from this-that we do. Know how to handle your solitude.
Blaise Pascal
Image
On the occasions when I have pondered over men's various activities, the dangers and worries they are exposed to at Court or at war, from which so many quarrels, passions, risky, often ill-conceived actions and so on are born, I have often said that man's unhappiness springs from one thing alone, his incapacity to stay quietly in one room.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Imagination cannot make fools wise, but it makes them happy, as against reason, which only makes its friends wretched: one covers them with glory, the other with shame.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Beauty is a harmonious relation between something in our nature and the quality of the object which delights us.
Blaise Pascal
Image
E? loquence quipersuade par douceur, non par empire, en tyran, non en roi. Eloquence should persuade gently, not by force or like a tyrant or king.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is a dangerous experiment to call in gratitude as an ally to love. Love is a debt which inclination always pays, obligation never.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Everyone, without exception, is searching for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nothing is thoroughly approved but mediocrity. The majority has established this, and it fixes its fangs on whatever gets beyond it either way.
Blaise Pascal
Image
By thought I embrace the universe.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The mind must not be forced artificial and constrained manners fill it with foolish presumption, through unnatural elevation and vain and ridiculous inflation, instead of solid and vigorous nutriment.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All this visible world is but an imperceptible point in the ample bosom of nature.
Blaise Pascal
Image
When intuition and logic agree, you are always right.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All mankind's unhappiness derives from one thing: his inability to know how to remain in repose in one room.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Caesar was too old, it seems to me, to go off and amuse himself conquering the world. Such a pastime was all right for Augustus and Alexander they were young men, not easily held in check, but Caesar ought to have been more mature.
Blaise Pascal
Image
When I have occasionally set myself to consider the different distractions of men, the pains and perils to which they expose themselves I have discovered that all the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Just as all things speak about God to those that know Him, and reveal Him to those that love Him, they also hide Him from all those that neither seek nor know Him.
Blaise Pascal
