If you want others to have a good opinion of you, say nothing.
Blaise Pascal

Concupiscence and force are the source of all our actions concupiscence causes voluntary actions, force involuntary ones.
Blaise Pascal

No one is offended at not seeing everything but one does not like to be mistaken, and that perhaps arises from the fact that man naturally cannot see everything, and that naturally he cannot err in the side he looks at, since the perceptions of our senses are always true.
Blaise Pascal
Image
For nature is an image of Grace, and visible miracles are images of the invisible.
Blaise Pascal

The gospel to me is simply irresistible.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal

Since we cannot be universal and know all that is to be known of everything, we ought to know a little about everything. For it is far better to know something about everything than to know all about one thing. This universality is the best. If we can have both, still better but if we must choose, we ought to choose the former.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The world is satisfied with words. Few appreciate the things beneath. [Fr., Le monde se paye de paroles peu approfondissement les choses.]
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
Those who profess contempt for men, and put them on a level with beasts, yet wish to be admired and believed by men, and contradict themselves by their own feelings--their nature, which is stronger than all, convincing them of the greatness of man more forcibly than reason convinces them of his baseness.
Blaise Pascal

Not to be mad is another form of madness
Blaise Pascal
Image
What reason have atheists for saying that we cannot rise again? That what has never been, should be, or that what has been, should be again? Is it more difficult to come into being than to return to it.
Blaise Pascal

Ugly deeds are most estimable when hidden.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All men have happiness as their object: there is no exception. However different the means they employ, they all aim at the same end.
Blaise Pascal
