More quotes by 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
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
From whence comes it that a cripple in body does not irritate us, and that a crippled mind enrages us? It is because a cripple sees that we go right, and a distorted mind says that it is we who go astray. But for that we should have more pity and less rage.
Blaise Pascal
There are people who lie simply for the sake of lying.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is more dastardly than to act with bravado toward God.
Blaise Pascal
There is nothing that we can see on earth which does not either show the wretchedness of man or the mercy of God. One either sees the powerlessness of man without God, or the strength of man with God.
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
True eloquence scorns eloquence.
Blaise Pascal
Fashion is a tyrant from which nothing frees us. We must suit ourselves to its fantastic tastes. But being compelled to live under its foolish laws, the wise man is never the first to follow, nor the last to keep it.
Blaise Pascal
I would have far more fear of being mistaken, and of finding that the Christian religion was true, than of not being mistaken in believing it true.
Blaise Pascal
There was once in man a true happiness of which there now remain to him only the mark and empty trace, which he in vain tries to fill from all his surroundings, seeking from things absent the help he does not obtain in things present.
Blaise Pascal
The Church limits her sacramental services to the faithful. Christ gave Himself upon the cross a ransom for all.
Blaise Pascal
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
All man's troubles come from not knowing how to sit still in one room.
Blaise Pascal
All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.
Blaise Pascal
We know then the existence and nature of the finite, because we also are finite and have extension. We know the existence of the infinite and are ignorant of its nature, because it has extension like us, but not limits like us. But we know neither the existence nor the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits.
Blaise Pascal
To have no time for philosophy is to be a true philosopher.
Blaise Pascal
Earnestness is enthusiasm tempered by reason.
Blaise Pascal
Eloquence is a painting of thought and thus those who, after having painted it, add something more, make a picture instead of a portrait.
Blaise Pascal
