Either Christianity is true or it's false. If you bet that it's true, and you believe in God and submit to Him, then if it IS true, you've gained God, heaven, and everything else. If it's false, you've lost nothing, but you've had a good life marked by peace and the illusion that ultimately, everything makes sense. If you bet that Christianity is not true, and it's false, you've lost nothing. But if you bet that it's false, and it turns out to be true, you've lost everything and you get to spend eternity in hell.

There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.

Blaise Pascal

All men seek happiness. This ...

All men seek happiness. This is without exception. Whatever different means they employ, they all tend to this end. The cause of some going to war, and of others avoiding it, is the same desire in both, attended with different views. The will never takes the least step but to this object. This is the motive of every action of every man, even of those who hang themselves.

All the trouble in the world ...

All the trouble in the world is due to the fact that man cannot sit still in a room.

Blaise Pascal

Knowing God without knowing o...

Knowing God without knowing our own wretchedness makes for pride. Knowing our own wretchedness without knowing God makes for despair. Knowing Jesus Christ strikes the balance because he shows us both God and our own wretchedness.

Human life is thus only an endless illusion. Men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does when we are gone. Society is based on mutual hypocrisy.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

Let each of us examine his th...

Let each of us examine his thoughts; he will find them wholly concerned with the past or the future. We almost never think of the present, and if we do think of it, it is only to see what light is throws on our plans for the future. The present is never our end. The past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.

Distraction is the only thing...

Distraction is the only thing that consoles us for our miseries. Yet it is itself the greatest of our miseries.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.

When intuition and logic agree, you are always right.

Cold words freeze people, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words make them wrathful. Kind words also produce their own image on men's souls; and a beautiful image it is. They smooth, and quiet, and comfort the hearer.

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

What a vast difference there is between knowing God and loving Him.

There is enough light for those who only desire to see, and enough obscurity for those who have a contrary disposition

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

Reflect on death as in Jesus ...

Reflect on death as in Jesus Christ, not as without Jesus Christ. Without Jesus Christ it is dreadful, it is alarming, it is the terror of nature. In Jesus Christ it is fair and lovely, it is good and holy, it is the joy of saints.

Kind words produce their images on men's souls.

People almost invariably arrive at their beliefs not on the basis of proof but on the basis of what they find attractive.

Men are so completely fools by necessity that he is but a fool in a higher strain of folly who does not confess his foolishness.

Human beings do not know their place and purpose. They have fallen from their true place, and lost their true purpose. They search everywhere for their place and purpose, with great anxiety. But they cannot find them because they are surrounded by darkness.

Happiness can be found neither in ourselves nor in external things, but in God and in ourselves as united to him.
