More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Condition de l'homme: inconstance, ennui, inquie tude. Man's condition. Inconstancy, boredom, anxiety.
Blaise Pascal
Everything that is written merely to please the author is worthless.
Blaise Pascal
If we do not know ourselves to be full of pride, ambition, lust, weakness, misery, and injustice, we are indeed blind. And if, knowing this, we do not desire deliverance, what can we say of a man...?
Blaise Pascal
When a soldier complains of his hard life (or a labourer, etc.) try giving him nothing to do.
Blaise Pascal
If you want others to have a good opinion of you, say nothing.
Blaise Pascal
Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.
Blaise Pascal
He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is good but mediocrity. The majority has settled that, and finds fault with him who escapes it at whichever end... To leave the mean is to abandon humanity.
Blaise Pascal
God has given us evidence sufficiently clear to convince those with an open heart and mind.
Blaise Pascal
All err the more dangerously because each follows a truth. Their mistake lies not in following a falsehood but in not following another truth.
Blaise Pascal
We are so presumptuous that we should like to be known all over the world, even by people who will only come when we are no more. Such is our vanity that the good opinion of half a dozen of the people around us gives us pleasure and satisfaction.
Blaise Pascal
Wisdom leads us back to childhood.
Blaise Pascal
Unless we love the truth we cannot know it.
Blaise Pascal
If there were only one religion, God would indeed be manifest.
Blaise Pascal
Men seek rest in a struggle against difficulties and when they have conquered these, rest becomes insufferable.
Blaise Pascal
Lust is the source of all our actions, and humanity.
Blaise Pascal
There are plenty of maxims in the world all that remains is to apply them.
Blaise Pascal
We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end. When we think to attach ourselves to any pointand to fasten to it, it wavers and leaves us and if we follow it, it eludes our grasp, slips past us, and vanishes for ever. Nothing stays for us.
Blaise Pascal
Pride counterbalances all our miseries, for it either hides them, or, if it discloses them, boasts of that disclosure. Pride has such a thorough possession of us, even in the midst of our miseries and faults, that we are prepared to sacrifice life with joy, if it may but be talked of.
Blaise Pascal
If men knew themselves, God would heal and pardon them.
Blaise Pascal
