Who confers reputation? who gives respect and veneration to persons, to books, to great men? Who but Opinion? How utterly insufficient are all the riches of the world without her approbation!

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Clarity of mind means clarity...

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

La vraie e loquence se moque de l'e loquence, la vraie morale se moque de la morale. True eloquence has notime foreloquence, true morality has no time for morality.

Ugly deeds are most estimable when hidden.

It is not shameful for a man to succumb to pain and it is shameful to succumb to pleasure.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

That dog is mine said those poor children; that place in the sun is mine; such is the beginning and type of usurpation throughout the earth. [Fr., Ce chien est a moi, disaient ces pauvres enfants; c'est la ma place au soleil. Voila le commencement et l'image de l'usurpation de toute la terre.]

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Custom creates the whole of equity, for the simple reason that it is accepted.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

We desire truth, and find wit...

We desire truth, and find within ourselves only uncertainty. We seek happiness, and find only misery and death. We cannot but desire truth and happiness, and are incapable of certainty or happiness.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

When we see an effect happen ...

When we see an effect happen always in the same manner, we infer that it takes place by a natural necessity; as, for instance, that the sun will rise to morrow; but nature often deceives us, and will not submit to its own rules.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

If there were only one religi...

If there were only one religion, God would indeed be manifest.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Montaigne is wrong in declaring that custom ought to be followed simply because it is custom, and not because it is reasonable or just.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

We do not worry about being respected in towns through which we pass. But if we are going to remain in one for a certain time, we do worry. How long does this time have to be?

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The secrets of nature are con...

The secrets of nature are concealed; her agency is perpetual, but we do not always discover its effects; time reveals them from age to age; and although she is always the same in herself, she is not always equally well known.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Generally we are occupied eit...

Generally we are occupied either with the miseries which now we feel, or with those which threaten; and even when we see ourselves sufficiently secure from the approach of either, still fretfulness, though unwarranted by either present or expected affliction, fails not to spring up from the deep recesses of the heart, where its roots naturally grow, and to fill the soul with its poison.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

E? loquence quipersuade par ...

E? loquence quipersuade par douceur, non par empire, en tyran, non en roi. Eloquence should persuade gently, not by force or like a tyrant or king.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Let man then contemplate the ...

Let man then contemplate the whole of nature in her full and grand majesty... No idea approaches it. We may enlarge our conceptions beyond all imaginable space; we only produce atoms in comparison with the reality of things. It is an infinite sphere, the center of which is everywhere, the circumference nowhere.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Amusement allures and deceive...

Amusement allures and deceives us and leads us down imperceptibly in thoughtlessness to the grave

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The God of the infinite is the God of the infinitesimal.

La chose la plus importante a' toute la vie est le choix du me tier: le hasard en dispose. The most important thing in life is to choose a profession: chance arranges for that.

It is not permitted to the most equitable of men to be a judge in his own cause.
