It is certain that those who ...

It is certain that those who have the living faith in their hearts see at once that all existence is none other than the work of the God whom they adore. But for those in whom this light is extinguished, [if we were to show them our proofs of the existence of God] nothing is more calculated to arouse their contempt. . . .

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Those who do not hate their o...

Those who do not hate their own selfishness and regard themselves as more important than the rest of the world are blind because the truth lies elsewhere

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

What amazes me most is to see that everyone is not amazed at his own weakness.

Man is neither angel nor beast.

The mind naturally makes progress, and the will naturally clings to objects; so that for want of right objects, it will attach itself to wrong ones.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The heart has its reasons of ...

The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing. We feel it in a thousand things. I say that the heart naturally loves the Universal Being, and naturally loves itself; and it gives itself to one or the other, and hardens itself against one or the other, as it chooses...it is the heart that feels God, not the reason; this is faith.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Il n'y a que deux sortes d'hommes: les uns justes, qui se croient pe cheurs; les autres pe cheurs, qui se croient justes. There are only two types of people: the virtuous who believe themselves to be sinners and the sinners who believe themselves to be virtuous.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Let us, then, take our compas...

Let us, then, take our compass; we are something, and we are not everything. The nature of our existence hides from us the knowledge of first beginnings which are born of the nothing; and the littleness of our being conceals from us the sight of the infinite. Our intellect holds the same position in the world of thought as our body occupies in the expanse of nature.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The principles of pleasure ar...

The principles of pleasure are not firm and stable. They are different in all mankind, and variable in every particular with such a diversity that there is no man more different from another than from himself at different times.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The statements of atheists ou...

The statements of atheists ought to be perfectly clear of doubt. Now it is not perfectly clear that the soul is material.

Orthodoxy on one side of the Pyrenees may be heresy on the other.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Nothing is so important to ma...

Nothing is so important to man as his own state; nothing is so formidable to him as eternity. And thus it is unnatural that thereshould be men indifferent to the loss of their existence and to the perils of everlasting suffering.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The end point of rationality ...

The end point of rationality is to demonstrate the limits of rationality.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Everything that is written me...

Everything that is written merely to please the author is worthless.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

St. Augustine teaches us that...

St. Augustine teaches us that there is in each man a Serpent, an Eve, and an Adam. Our senses and natural propensities are the Serpent; the excitable desire is the Eve; and reason is the Adam. Our nature tempts us perpetually; criminal desire is often excited; but sin is not completed till reason consents.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

If we regulate our conduct ac...

If we regulate our conduct according to our own convictions, we may safely disregard the praise or censure of others.

I feel engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces whereof I know nothing, and which know nothing of me, I am terrified The eternal silence of these infinite spaces alarms me.

Man lives between the infinitely large and the infinitely small.

One must have deeper motives and judge everything accordingly, but go on talking like an ordinary person.

You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend.
