More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Most of man's trouble comes from his inability to be still.
Blaise Pascal
Dull minds are never either intuitive or mathematical.
Blaise Pascal
Who knows if this other half of life where we think we're awake is not another sleep a little different from the first.
Blaise Pascal
Without the knowledge of our wretchedness, the knowledge of God creates pride. With it, the knowledge of God creates despair. The knowledge of Christ offers a third way, because in him we find both God and our wretchedness.
Blaise Pascal
Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
Blaise Pascal
In difficult times carry something beautiful in your heart.
Blaise Pascal
Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.
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
Christian piety annihilates the egoism of the heart worldly politeness veils and represses it.
Blaise Pascal
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
The multitude which does not reduce itself to unity is confusion.
Blaise Pascal
Happiness can be found neither in ourselves nor in external things, but in God and in ourselves as united to him.
Blaise Pascal
He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
Blaise Pascal
Good deeds, when concealed, are the most admirable.
Blaise Pascal
Il n'est pas certain que tout soit incertain. (Translation: It is not certain that everything is uncertain.)
Blaise Pascal
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
Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.
Blaise Pascal
What reason have atheists for saying that we cannot rise again? That what has never been, should be, or that what has been, should be again? Is it more difficult to come into being than to return to it.
Blaise Pascal
Our reason is always disappointed by the inconstancy of appearances.
Blaise Pascal
It is not shameful for a man to succumb to pain and it is shameful to succumb to pleasure.
Blaise Pascal
