More quotes by Blaise Pascal

Image
Man is so made that by continually telling him he is a fool he believes it, and by continually telling it to himself he makes himself believe it. For man holds an inward talk with himself, which it pays him to regulate.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Two things control men's nature, instinct and experience.
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
We do not worry about being respected in towns through which we pass. But if we are going to remain in one for a certain time, we do worry. How long does this time have to be?
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The two principles of truth, reason and senses, are not only both not genuine, but are engaged in mutual deception. The senses deceive reason through false appearances, and the senses are disturbed by passions, which produce false impressions.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Image
The Christian religion teaches me two points-that there is a God whom men can know, and that their nature is so corrupt that they are unworthy of Him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To find recreation in amusement is not happiness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
True eloquence makes light of eloquence. True morality makes light of morality.
Blaise Pascal
Image

Blaise Pascal
Image
Passion cannot be beautiful without excess one either loves too much or not enough.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Everything that is written merely to please the author is worthless.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All err the more dangerously because each follows a truth. Their mistake lies not in following a falsehood but in not following another truth.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All the dignity of man consists in thought. Thought is therefore by its nature a wonderful and incomparable thing. It must have strange defects to be contemptible. But it has such, so that nothing is more ridiculous. How great it is in its nature! How vile it is in its defects! But what is this thought? How foolish it is!
Blaise Pascal
Image
Those who are clever in imagination are far more pleased with themselves than prudent men could reasonably be.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If man should commence by studying himself, he would see how impossible it is to go further.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Wisdom leads us back to childhood.
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
