We sail within a vast sphere,...

We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end. When we think to attach ourselves to any pointand to fasten to it, it wavers and leaves us; and if we follow it, it eludes our grasp, slips past us, and vanishes for ever. Nothing stays for us.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

We are so presumptuous that w...

We are so presumptuous that we should like to be known all over the world, even by people who will only come when we are no more. Such is our vanity that the good opinion of half a dozen of the people around us gives us pleasure and satisfaction.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Nothing fortifies scepticism ...

Nothing fortifies scepticism more than that there are some who are not sceptics; if all were so, they would be wrong.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

I cannot judge my work while ...

I cannot judge my work while I am doing it. I have to do as painters do, stand back and view it from a distance, but not too great a distance. How great? Guess.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Rivers are roads which move, ...

Rivers are roads which move, and which carry us whither we desire to go.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

All man's troubles come from ...

All man's troubles come from not knowing how to sit still in one room.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The last advance of reason is...

The last advance of reason is to recognize that it is surpassed by innumerable things; it is feeble if it cannot realize that.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The Fall is an offense to hum...

The Fall is an offense to human reason, but once accepted, it makes perfect sense of the human condition.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

If you gain, you gain all; if...

If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The whole title by which you ...

The whole title by which you possess your property, is not a title of nature but of a human institution.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

When some passion or effect i...

When some passion or effect is described in a natural style, we find within ourselves the truth of what we hear, without knowing it was there.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

When we would think of God, h...

When we would think of God, how many things we find which turn us away from Him, and tempt us to think otherwise. All this is evil, yet it is innate.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Those we call the ancients we...

Those we call the ancients were really new in everything.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

A mere trifle consoles us, fo...

A mere trifle consoles us, for a mere trifle distresses us.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

It is a dangerous experiment ...

It is a dangerous experiment to call in gratitude as an ally to love. Love is a debt which inclination always pays, obligation never.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Each man is everything to him...

Each man is everything to himself, for with his death everything is dead for him. That is why each of us thinks he is everything to everyone. We must not judge nature by ourselves, but by its own standards.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

On the occasions when I have ...

On the occasions when I have pondered over men's various activities, the dangers and worries they are exposed to at Court or at war, from which so many quarrels, passions, risky, often ill-conceived actions and so on are born, I have often said that man's unhappiness springs from one thing alone, his incapacity to stay quietly in one room.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The war existing between the ...

The war existing between the senses and reason.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Since we cannot be universal ...

Since we cannot be universal and know all that is to be known of everything, we ought to know a little about everything. For it is far better to know something about everything than to know all about one thing. This universality is the best. If we can have both, still better; but if we must choose, we ought to choose the former.
