More quotes by Blaise Pascal
The greatest single distinguishing feature of the omnipotence of God is that our imagination gets lost thinking about it.
Blaise Pascal
If you gain, you gain all if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Blaise Pascal
We make an idol of truth itself for truth apart from charity is not God, but His image and idol, which we must neither love nor worship.
Blaise Pascal
Now, if the passions had no hold on us, a week and a hundred years would amount to the same.
Blaise Pascal
Wisdom leads us back to childhood.
Blaise Pascal
Curiosity is nothing more than vanity. More often than not we only seek knowledge to show it off.
Blaise Pascal
Religion is so great a thing that it is right that those who will not take the trouble to seek it if it be obscure, should be deprived of it.
Blaise Pascal
To find recreation in amusements is not happiness for this joy springs from alien and extrinsic sources, and is therefore dependent upon and subject to interruption by a thousand accidents, which may minister inevitable affliction.
Blaise Pascal
What matters it that man should have a little more knowledge of the universe? If he has it, he gets little higher. Is he not always infinitely removed from the end, and is not the duration of our life equally removed from eternity, even if it lasts ten years longer?
Blaise Pascal
The more intelligence one has, the more people one finds original. Commonplace people see no difference between men.
Blaise Pascal
The Church limits her sacramental services to the faithful. Christ gave Himself upon the cross a ransom for all.
Blaise Pascal
All men are almost led to believe not of proof, but by attraction. This way is base, ignoble, and irrelevant every one therefore disavows it. Each one professes to believe and even to love nothing but what he knows to be worthy of belief and love.
Blaise Pascal
There was once in man a true happiness of which there now remain to him only the mark and empty trace, which he in vain tries to fill from all his surroundings, seeking from things absent the help he does not obtain in things present.
Blaise Pascal
The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory.
Blaise Pascal
We never do evil so effectually as when we are led to do it by a false principle of conscience.
Blaise Pascal
To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize.
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
Christian piety annihilates the egoism of the heart worldly politeness veils and represses it.
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 married should not forget that to speak of love begets love.
Blaise Pascal
