All who say the same things do...

All who say the same things do not possess them in the same manner; and hence the incomparable author of the Art of Conversation pauses with so much care to make it understood that we must
not judge of the capacity of a man by the excellence of a happy remark that we heard him make. ...let us penetrate, says he, the mind from which it proceeds... it will oftenest be seen that
he will be made to disavow it on the spot, and will be drawn very far from this better thought in which he does not believe, to plunge

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
Blaise Pascal

I would inquire of reasonable ...

I would inquire of reasonable persons whether this principle: Matter is naturally wholly incapable of thought, and this other: I think, therefore I am, are in fact the same in the mind of
Descartes, and in that of St. Augustine, who said the same thing twelve hundred years before.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

In order to enter into a real ...

In order to enter into a real knowledge of your condition, consider it in this image: A man was cast by a tempest upon an unknown island, the inhabitants of which were in trouble to find
their king, who was lost; and having a strong resemblance both in form and face to this king, he was taken for him, and acknowledged in this capacity by all the people.

Nature, which alone is good, i...

Nature, which alone is good, is wholly familiar and common.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

No one is ignorant that there ...

No one is ignorant that there are two avenues by which opinions are received into the soul, which are its two principal powers: the understanding and the will.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

The method of not erring is so...

The method of not erring is sought by all the world. The logicians profess to guide it, the geometricians alone attain it, and apart from science, and the imitations of it, there are no
true demonstrations.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

The mind must not be forced; a...

The mind must not be forced; artificial and constrained manners fill it with foolish presumption, through unnatural elevation and vain and ridiculous inflation, instead of solid and
vigorous nutriment.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

The principles of pleasure are...

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
Blaise Pascal

There are hardly any truths up...

There are hardly any truths upon which we always remain agreed, and still fewer objects of pleasure which we do not change every hour, I do not know whether there is a means of giving fixed
rules for adapting discourse to the inconstancy of our caprices.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

What is it, in your opinion, t...

What is it, in your opinion, to be a great nobleman? It is to be master of several objects that men covet, and thus to be able to satisfy the wants and the desires of many. It is these
wants and these desires that attract them towards you, and that make them submit to you: were it not for these, they would not even look at you; but they hope, by these services... to obtain
from you some part of the good which they desire, and of which they see that you have the disposal.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

Whilst in speaking of human th...

Whilst in speaking of human things, we say that it is necessary to know them before we love can them...the saints on the contrary say in speaking of divine things that it is necessary to
love them in order to know them, and that we only enter truth through charity.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

You are in the same manner sur...

You are in the same manner surrounded with a small circle of persons... full of desire. They demand of you the benefits of desire... You are therefore properly the king of desire. ...equal
in this to the greatest kings of the earth... It is desire that constitutes their power; that is, the possession of things that men covet.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

If a man is not made for God, ...

If a man is not made for God, why is he happy only in God?

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

We must make good people wish ...

We must make good people wish that the Christian faith were true, and then show that it is.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

Cold words freeze people, and ...

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.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

Dull minds are never either in...

Dull minds are never either intuitive or mathematical.

Those honor nature well, who teach that she can speak on everything.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

The manner in which Epictetus,...

The manner in which Epictetus, Montaigne, and Salomon de Tultie wrote, is the most usual, the most suggestive, the most remembered, and the oftener quoted; because it is entirely composed of thoughts born from the common talk of life.

Symmetry is what we see at a glance; based on the fact that there is no reason for any difference...
