More quotes by Blaise Pascal
We must know where to doubt, where to feel certain, where to submit. He who does not do so, understands not the force of reason.
Blaise Pascal
When intuition and logic agree, you are always right.
Blaise Pascal
Caesar was too old, it seems to me, to go off and amuse himself conquering the world. Such a pastime was all right for Augustus and Alexander they were young men, not easily held in check, but Caesar ought to have been more mature.
Blaise Pascal
The imagination enlarges little objects so as to fill our souls with a fantastic estimate and, with rash insolence, it belittles the great to its own measure, as when talking of God.
Blaise Pascal
Death itself is less painful when it comes upon us unawares than the bare contemplation of it, even when danger is far distant.
Blaise Pascal
God has given us evidence sufficiently clear to convince those with an open heart and mind.
Blaise Pascal
Voluptuousness, like justice, is blind, but that is the only resemblance between them.
Blaise Pascal
Let no one say that I have said nothing new... the arrangement of the subject is new. When we play tennis, we both play with the same ball, but one of us places it better.
Blaise Pascal
As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.
Blaise Pascal
The war existing between the senses and reason.
Blaise Pascal
The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble.
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
Happiness is neither within us, nor without us. It is in the union of ourselves with God.
Blaise Pascal
One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.
Blaise Pascal
Tout notre raisonnement se re duit a' ce der au sentiment. All our reasoning comes down to surrendering to feeling.
Blaise Pascal
The exterior must be joined to the interior to obtain anything from God, that is to say, we must kneel, pray with the lips, and soon, in order that proud man, who would not submit himself to God, may be now subject to the creature.
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
Man is so made that if he is told often enough that he is a fool he believes it.
Blaise Pascal
The serene, silent beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world, next to the night of God.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination magnifies small objects with fantastic exaggeration until they fill our soul, and with bold insolence cuts down great things to its own size, as when speaking of God.
Blaise Pascal
