More quotes by Blaise Pascal
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason.
Blaise Pascal
If you want others to have a good opinion of you, say nothing.
Blaise Pascal
Fear not, provided you fear but if you fear not, then fear.
Blaise Pascal
We are fools to depend upon the society of our fellow-men. Wretched as we are, powerless as we are, they will not aid us we shall die alone.
Blaise Pascal
There are vices which have no hold upon us, but in connection with others and which, when you cut down the trunk, fall like the branches.
Blaise Pascal
We see neither justice nor injustice which does not change its nature with change in climate. Three degrees of latitude reverse all jurisprudence a meridian decides the truth.
Blaise Pascal
Tout notre raisonnement se re duit a' ce der au sentiment. All our reasoning comes down to surrendering to feeling.
Blaise Pascal
Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary.
Blaise Pascal
The more intelligent a man is, the more originality he discovers in others.
Blaise Pascal
When we see an effect happen always in the same manner, we infer that it takes place by a natural necessity as, for instance, that the sun will rise to morrow but nature often deceives us, and will not submit to its own rules.
Blaise Pascal
The mind has its arrangement it proceeds from principles to demonstrations. The heart has a different mode of proceeding.
Blaise Pascal
If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.
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
Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.
Blaise Pascal
Not only do we know God by Jesus Christ alone, but we know ourselves only by Jesus Christ. We know life and death only through Jesus Christ. Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.
Blaise Pascal
Curiosity is nothing more than vanity. More often than not we only seek knowledge to show it off.
Blaise Pascal
People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they have themselves discovered than by those which have come in to the mind of others.
Blaise Pascal
No soul of high estate can take pleasure in slander. It betrays a weakness.
Blaise Pascal
We conceal it from ourselves in vain - we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.
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
