More quotes by Blaise Pascal
(Man,) the glory and the scandal of the universe.
Blaise Pascal
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
All this visible world is but an imperceptible point in the ample bosom of nature.
Blaise Pascal
Le nez de Cle opa tre: s'il e u t e te plus court, toute la face de la terre aurait change . Cleopatra'snose: if it had beenshorter the whole face of the earth would have been different.

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
God is, or He is not. But to which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here. There is an infinite chaos which separated us. A game is being played at the extremity of this infinite distance where heads or tails will turn up. What will you wager?
Blaise Pascal
Let man reawake and consider what he is compared with the reality of things regard himself lost in this remote corner of Nature and from the tiny cell where he lodges, to wit the Universe, weigh at their true worth earth, kingdoms, towns, himself. What is a man face to face with infinity?
Blaise Pascal
I maintain that, if everyone knew what others said about him, there would not be four friends in the world.
Blaise Pascal
I can approve of those only who seek in tears for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
We are never in search of things, but always in search of the search.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is surer than that the people will be weak.
Blaise Pascal
Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.
Blaise Pascal
Everyone, without exception, is searching for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
The more intelligent a man is, the more originality he discovers in others.
Blaise Pascal
There are plenty of maxims in the world all that remains is to apply them.
Blaise Pascal
What a chimaera then is man, what a novelty, what a monster, what chaos, what a subject of contradiction, what a prodigy! Judge of all things, yet an imbecile earthworm depository of truth, yet a sewer of uncertainty and error pride and refuse of the universe. Who shall resolve this tangle?
Blaise Pascal
Silence. All human unhappiness comes from not knowing how to stay quietly in a room.
Blaise Pascal
Two things control men's nature, instinct and experience.
Blaise Pascal
Rivers are highways that move on and bear us whither we wish to go.
Blaise Pascal
