He who cannot believe is curse...

He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

What part of us feels pleasure...

What part of us feels pleasure? Is it our hand, our arm, our flesh, or our blood? It must obviously be something immaterial.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

You gave me health that I migh...

You gave me health that I might serve you; and so often I failed to use my good health in your service. Now you send me sickness in order to correct me Grant that, having ignored the things of spirit when my body was vigorous, I may now enjoy spiritual sweetness while my body groans with pain.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

And is it not obvious that, ju...

And is it not obvious that, just as it is a crime to disturb the peace when truth reigns, it is also a crime to remain at peace when the truth is being destroyed?

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

If they [Plato and Aristotle] ...

If they [Plato and Aristotle] wrote about politics it was as if to lay down rules for a madhouse. And if they pretended to treat it as something really important it was because they knew that the madmen they were talking to believed themselves to be kings and emperors. They humored these beliefs in order to calm down their madness with as little harm as possible.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

We must keep our thought secre...

We must keep our thought secret, and judge everything by it, while talking like the people.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Fire. God of Abraham, God of I...

Fire. God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers and the scholars. I will not forget thy word. Amen.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Something incomprehensible is ...

Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

All our troubles come from not being able to be alone.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

There is enough light for those who only desire to see, and enough obscurity for those who have a contrary disposition

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Chess is the gymnasium of the mind.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

There are two types of mind . ...

There are two types of mind . . . the mathematical, and what might be called the intuitive. The former arrives at its views slowly, but they are firm and rigid; the latter is endowed with greater flexibility and applies itself simultaneously to the diverse lovable parts of that which it loves.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Let man then contemplate the w...

Let man then contemplate the whole of nature in her full and grand majesty... No idea approaches it. We may enlarge our conceptions beyond all imaginable space; we only produce atoms in comparison with the reality of things. It is an infinite sphere, the center of which is everywhere, the circumference nowhere.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

For nature is an image of Grac...

For nature is an image of Grace, and visible miracles are images of the invisible.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

When we see an effect happen a...

When we see an effect happen always in the same manner, we infer that it takes place by a natural necessity; as, for instance, that the sun will rise to morrow; but nature often deceives us, and will not submit to its own rules.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

I am in the utmost perplexity,...

I am in the utmost perplexity, yand have wished a hundred times, that if there is a A God, nature would manifest him without ambiguity, and that if there is not, every imaginary sign of his existence might vanish : in short, let nature speak distinctly, or be totally silent, and I shall know what course to take.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The secrets of nature are conc...

The secrets of nature are concealed; her agency is perpetual, but we do not always discover its effects; time reveals them from age to age; and although she is always the same in herself, she is not always equally well known.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Continuous eloquence is tediou...

Continuous eloquence is tedious.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

It is of dangerous consequence...

It is of dangerous consequence to represent to man how near he is to the level of beasts, without showing him at the same time his greatness. It is likewise dangerous to let him see his greatness without his meanness. It is more dangerous yet to leave him ignorant of either; but very beneficial that he should be made sensible of both.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Nature has made all her truths...

Nature has made all her truths independent of one another. Our art makes one dependent on the other. But this is not natural. Each keeps its own place.
