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

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

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

If men knew themselves, God w...

If men knew themselves, God would heal and pardon them.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

God only pours out his light ...

God only pours out his light into the mind after having subdued the rebellion of the will by an altogether heavenly gentleness which charms and wins it.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Man is to himself the most wo...

Man is to himself the most wonderful object in nature; for he cannot conceive what the body is, still less what the mind is, and least of all how a body should be united to a mind. This is the consummation of his difficulties, and yet it is his very being.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

All men seek happiness. There...

All men seek happiness. There are no exceptions.... This is the motive of every act of every man, including those who go and hang themselves.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Justice and truth are two suc...

Justice and truth are two such subtle points, that our tools are too blunt to touch them accurately.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Our achievements of today are...

Our achievements of today are but the sum total of our thoughts of yesterday. You are today where the thoughts of yesterday have brought you and you will be tomorrow where the thoughts of today take you.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Amusement that is excessive a...

Amusement that is excessive and followed only for its own sake, allures and deceives us.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

There is nothing that we can ...

There is nothing that we can see on earth which does not either show the wretchedness of man or the mercy of God. One either sees the powerlessness of man without God, or the strength of man with God.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Man is so made that if he is ...

Man is so made that if he is told often enough that he is a fool he believes it.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Nature has perfections, in ord...

Nature has perfections, in order to show that she is the image of God; and defects, to show that she is only his image.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

All our reasoning boils down to yielding to sentiment.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Distraction is the only thing ...

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

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Happiness is neither within us...

Happiness is neither within us only, or without us; it is the union of ourselves with God

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

[I feel] engulfed in the infin...

[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.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Reverend Fathers, my letters d...

Reverend Fathers, my letters did not usually follow each other at such close intervals, nor were they so long.... This one would not be so long had I but the leisure to make it shorter.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Let no one say that I have sai...

Let no one say that I have said nothing new... the arrangement of the subject is new. When we play tennis, we both play with the same ball, but one of us places it better.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Our notion of symmetry is deri...

Our notion of symmetry is derived form the human face. Hence, we demand symmetry horizontally and in breadth only, not vertically nor in depth.
