(Man,) the glory and the scandal of the universe.

Force rules the world-not opinion; but it is opinion that makes use of force.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Instead of complaining that God had hidden himself, you will give Him thanks for having revealed so much of Himself.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

If god does not exist, one loses nothing by believing in him anyway, while if he does exist, one stands to lose everything by not believing.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

If a man is not made for God,...

If a man is not made for God, why is he happy only in God?

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

So we can only know God well ...

So we can only know God well by knowing our iniquities. Therefore those who have known God, without knowing their wretchedness, have not glorified Him, but have glorified themselves.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Anyone who found the secret of rejoicing when things go well without being annoyed when they go badly would have found the point.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Everyone, without exception, ...

Everyone, without exception, is searching for happiness.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

We know the truth not only th...

We know the truth not only through our reason but also through our heart. It is through the latter that we know first principles, and reason, which has nothing to do with it, tries in vain to refute them.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

If we examine our thoughts, we shall find them always occupied with the past or the future.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Habit is a second nature, which destroys the first.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Without Jesus Christ man must be in vice and misery with Jesus Christ man is free from vice and misery in Him is all our virtue and all our happiness. Apart from Him there is but vice, misery, darkness, death, despair.

Nature imitates herself. A grain thrown into good ground brings forth fruit; a principle thrown into a good mind brings forth fruit. Everything is created and conducted by the same Master-the root, the branch, the fruits-the principles, the consequences.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Parents fear the destruction ...

Parents fear the destruction of natural affection in their children. What is this natural principle so liable to decay? Habit is a second nature, which destroys the first. Why is not custom nature? I suspect that this nature itself is but a first custom, as custom is a second nature.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

We know that there is an infi...

We know that there is an infinite, and we know not its nature. As we know it to be false that numbers are finite, it is therefore true that there is a numerical infinity. But we know not of what kind; it is untrue that it is even, untrue that it is odd; for the addition of a unit does not change its nature; yet it is a number, and every number is odd or even (this certainly holds of every finite number). Thus we may quite well know that there is a God without knowing what He is.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

When everyone is moving towards depravity, no one seems to be moving, but if someone stops he shows up the others who are rushing on, by acting as a fixed point.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Man's sensitivity to the litt...

Man's sensitivity to the little things and insensitivity to the greatest are the signs of a strange disorder.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of... We know the truth not only by the reason, but by the heart." - Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

It's not those who write the laws that have the greatest impact on society. It's those who write the songs.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

If I believe in God and life ...

If I believe in God and life after death and you do not, and if there is no God, we both lose when we die. However, if there is a God, you still lose and I gain everything.
