More quotes by Blaise Pascal
L'on a beau se cacher a' soi-me me, l'on aime toujours. We vainly conceal from ourselves the fact that we are always in love.
Blaise Pascal
Fire. God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers and the scholars. I will not forget thy word. Amen.
Blaise Pascal
We know the truth not only through our reason but also through our heart. It is through the latter that we know first principles, and reason, which has nothing to do with it, tries in vain to refute them.
Blaise Pascal
Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.
Blaise Pascal
In difficult times carry something beautiful in your heart.
Blaise Pascal
Earnestness is enthusiasm tempered by reason.
Blaise Pascal
It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.
Blaise Pascal
Faith affirms many things, respecting which the senses are silent, but nothing that they deny. It is superior, but never opposed to their testimony
Blaise Pascal
All mankind's unhappiness derives from one thing: his inability to know how to remain in repose in one room.
Blaise Pascal
The parts of the universe ... all are connected with each other in such a way that I think it to be impossible to understand any one without the whole.
Blaise Pascal
Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.
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
Silence. All human unhappiness comes from not knowing how to stay quietly in a room.
Blaise Pascal
Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.
Blaise Pascal
Those we call the ancients were really new in everything.
Blaise Pascal
The world is ruled by force, not by opinion but opinion uses force.
Blaise Pascal
Our reason is always disappointed by the inconstancy of appearances.
Blaise Pascal
If man should commence by studying himself, he would see how impossible it is to go further.
Blaise Pascal
Christianity is strange. It bids man recognise that he is vile, even abominable, and bids him desire to be like God. Without such a counterpoise, this dignity would make him horribly vain, or this humiliation would make him terribly abject.
Blaise Pascal
No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.
Blaise Pascal
