God instituted prayer to communicate to creatures the dignity of causality.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

I would have far more fear of ...

I would have far more fear of being mistaken, and of finding that the Christian religion was true, than of not being mistaken in believing it true.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

We should seek the truth without hesitation; and, if we refuse it, we show that we value the esteem of men more than the search for truth.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

To be mistaken in believing th...

To be mistaken in believing that the Christian religion is true is no great loss to anyone; but how dreadful to be mistaken in believing it to be false!

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

To speak freely of mathematics...

To speak freely of mathematics, I find it the highest exercise of the spirit; but at the same time I know that it is so useless that I make little distinction between a man who is only a mathematician and a common artisan. Also, I call it the most beautiful profession in the world; but it is only a profession;

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

There is nothing that we can s...

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

The sole cause of man's unhapp...

The sole cause of man's unhappiness is that he does not know how to stay quietly in his room.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Kind words produce their image...

Kind words produce their images on men's souls.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

It is not from space that I mu...

It is not from space that I must seek my dignity, but from the government of my thought. I shall have no more if I possess worlds. By space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom; by thought I comprehend the world.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

All err the more dangerously b...

All err the more dangerously because each follows a truth. Their mistake lies not in following a falsehood but in not following another truth.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The art of revolutionizing and overturning states is to undermine established customs, by going back to their origin, in order to mark their want of justice.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Description of man: dependence...

Description of man: dependence, longing for independence, need.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

I rather live as if God exists to find out that He doesn't than live as if he doesn't exist to find out He does.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

All men have happiness as their object: there is no exception. However different the means they employ, they all aim at the same end.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The multitude which is not bro...

The multitude which is not brought to act as a unity, is confusion. That unity which has not its origin in the multitude is tyranny.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Any unity which doesn't have i...

Any unity which doesn't have its origin in the multitudes is tyranny.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Everyone, without exception, i...

Everyone, without exception, is searching for happiness.

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

Let man reawake and consider w...

Let man reawake and consider what he is compared with the reality of things; regard himself lost in this remote corner of Nature; and from the tiny cell where he lodges, to wit the Universe, weigh at their true worth earth, kingdoms, towns, himself. What is a man face to face with infinity?

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Anyone who does not see the va...

Anyone who does not see the vanity of the world is very vain himself. So who does not see it, apart from young people whose lives are all noise, diversions, and thoughts for the future? But take away their diversion and you will see them bored to extinction. Then they feel their nullity without recognizing it, for nothing could be more wretched than to be intolerably depressed as soon as one is reduced to introspection with no means of diversion.
