Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Since we cannot be universal and know all that is to be known of everything, we ought to know a little about everything. For it is far better to know something about everything than to know all about one thing. This universality is the best. If we can have both, still better but if we must choose, we ought to choose the former.

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

Evil is easy, and has infinite forms.
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

The last act is bloody, however pleasant all the rest of the play is: a little earth is thrown at last upon our head, and that is the end forever.
Blaise Pascal

Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.
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
