More quotes by Blaise Pascal

Image
Man's greatness is great in that he knows himself wretched. A tree does not know itself wretched. It is then being wretched to know oneself wretched but it is being great to know that one is wretched.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Human life is thus only an endless illusion. Men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does when we are gone. Society is based on mutual hypocrisy.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without a passion, without business, without entertainment, without care.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
The world is ruled by force, not by opinion but opinion uses force.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.
Blaise Pascal
Image
He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God's providence to lead him aright.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Our senses will not admit anything extreme. Too much noise confuses us, too much light dazzles us, too great distance or nearness prevents vision, too great prolixity or brevity weakens an argument, too much pleasure gives pain, too much accordance annoys.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All sorrow has its root in man's inability to sit quiet in a room by himself.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Rivers are highways that move on and bear us whither we wish to go.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
All men have happiness as their object: there is no exception. However different the means they employ, they all aim at the same end.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The authority of reason is far more imperious than that of a master for he who disobeys the one is unhappy, but he who disobeys the other is a fool.
Blaise Pascal
Image
I condemn equally those who choose to praise man, those who choose to condemn him and those who choose to divert themselves, and I can only approve of those who seek with groans.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The method of not erring is sought by all the world. The logicians profess to guide it, the geometricians alone attain it, and apart from science, and the imitations of it, there are no true demonstrations.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Now, if the passions had no hold on us, a week and a hundred years would amount to the same.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing. We feel it in a thousand things. I say that the heart naturally loves the Universal Being, and naturally loves itself and it gives itself to one or the other, and hardens itself against one or the other, as it chooses...it is the heart that feels God, not the reason this is faith.
Blaise Pascal
