More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.
Blaise Pascal
Good deeds, when concealed, are the most admirable.
Blaise Pascal
The state of man is inconstancy, ennui, anxiety.
Blaise Pascal
The present is never the mark of our designs. We use both past and present as our means and instruments, but the future only as our object and aim.
Blaise Pascal
Nature, which alone is good, is wholly familiar and common.
Blaise Pascal
Man is nothing but insincerity, falsehood, and hypocrisy, both in regard to himself and in regard to others. He does not wish that he should be told the truth, he shuns saying it to others and all these moods, so inconsistent with justice and reason, have their roots in his heart.
Blaise Pascal
The more intelligent a man is, the more originality he discovers in others.
Blaise Pascal
Mankind suffers from two excesses: to exclude reason, and to live by nothing but reason.
Blaise Pascal
One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.
Blaise Pascal
God has given us evidence sufficiently clear to convince those with an open heart and mind.
Blaise Pascal
Things are always at their best in their beginning.
Blaise Pascal
Fear not, provided you fear but if you fear not, then fear.
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
There are plenty of maxims in the world all that remains is to apply them.
Blaise Pascal
The married should not forget that to speak of love begets love.
Blaise Pascal
St. Augustine teaches us that there is in each man a Serpent, an Eve, and an Adam. Our senses and natural propensities are the Serpent the excitable desire is the Eve and reason is the Adam. Our nature tempts us perpetually criminal desire is often excited but sin is not completed till reason consents.
Blaise Pascal
All men naturally hate each other. We have used concupiscence as best we can to make it serve the common good, but this is mere sham and a false image of charity, for essentially it is just hate.
Blaise Pascal
Chance gives rise to thoughts, and chance removes them no art can keep or acquire them.
Blaise Pascal
Our achievements of today are but the sum total of our thoughts of yesterday.
Blaise Pascal
