Let each of us examine his tho...

Let each of us examine his thoughts; he will find them wholly concerned with the past or the future. We almost never think of the present, and if we do think of it, it is only to see what light is throws on our plans for the future. The present is never our end. The past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

It is dangerous to explain too...

It is dangerous to explain too clearly to man how like he is to the animals without pointing out his greatness. It is also dangerous to make too much of his greatness without his vileness. It is still more dangerous to leave him in ignorance of both, but it is most valuable to represent both to him. Man must not be allowed to believe that he is equal either to animals or to angels, nor to be unaware of either, but he must know both.

Blaise Pascal

If he exalts himself, I humble...

If he exalts himself, I humble him. If he humbles himself, I exalt him. And I go on contradicting him Until he understands That he is a monster that passes all understanding.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

Man is only a reed, the weakes...

Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature, but he is a thinking reed. There is no need for the whole universe to take up arms to crush him: a vapour, a drop of water is enough to kill him. but even if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than his slayer, because he knows that he is dying and the advantage the universe has over him. The universe knows none of this.

When a soldier complains of his hard life (or a labourer, etc.) try giving him nothing to do.

Blaise Pascal

Imagination magnifies small ob...

Imagination magnifies small objects with fantastic exaggeration until they fill our soul, and with bold insolence cuts down great things to its own size, as when speaking of God.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

Each man is everything to hims...

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
Blaise Pascal

We make an idol of truth itself, for truth apart from charity is not God, but his image and an idol that we must not love or worship.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

Discourses on humility are a s...

Discourses on humility are a source of pride in the vain and of humility in the humble. So those on scepticism cause believers to affirm. Few men speak humbly of humility, chastely of chastity, few doubtingly of scepticism.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

All men naturally hate each ot...

All men naturally hate each other. We have used concupiscence as best we can to make it serve the common good, but this is mere sham and a false image of charity, for essentially it is just hate.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

Do they think that they have g...

Do they think that they have given us great pleasure by telling us that they hold our soul to be no more than wind or smoke, and saying it moreover in tones of pride and satisfaction? Is this then something to be said gaily? Is it not on the contrary something to be said sadly, as being the saddest thing in the world?

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

No one is discontented at not ...

No one is discontented at not being a king except a discrowned king ... unhappiness almost invariably indicates the existence of a road not taken, a talent undeveloped, a self not recognized.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes
Blaise Pascal

One of the greatest artifices ...

One of the greatest artifices the devil uses to engage men in vice and debauchery, is to fasten names of contempt on certain virtues, and thus fill weak souls with a foolish fear of passing for scrupulous, should they desire to put them in practice.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

It has pleased God that divine verities should not enter the heart through the understanding, but the understanding through the heart.

Look somewhere else for someone who can follow you in your researches about numbers. For my part, I confess that they are far beyond me, and I am competent only to admire them.

If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.

Eloquence; it requires the pleasant and the real; but the pleasant must itself be drawn from the true.

In difficult times carry something beautiful in your heart.

True eloquence makes light of eloquence. True morality makes light of morality.
