Few men speak humbly of humility, chastely of chastity, skeptically of skepticism.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

All the troubles of life come...

All the troubles of life come upon us because we refuse to sit quietly for a while each day in our rooms.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

No man ever believes with a t...

No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart; and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

It is the conduct of God, who...

It is the conduct of God, who disposes all things kindly, to put religion into the mind by reason, and into the heart by grace.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

There is a virtuous fear, whi...

There is a virtuous fear, which is the effect of faith; and there is a vicious fear, which is the product of doubt. The former leads to hope, as relying on God, in whom we believe; the latter inclines to despair, as not relying on God, in whom we do not believe. Persons of the one character fear to lose God; persons of the other character fear to find Him.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

It is dangerous to explain to...

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 915 quotes

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

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The incredulous are the more ...

The incredulous are the more credulous. They believe the miracles of Vespasian that they may not believe those of Moses. [Fr., Incredules les plus credules. Ils croient les miracle de Vespasien, pour ne pas croire ceux de Moise.]

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

The art of subversion, of rev...

The art of subversion, of revolution, is to dislodge established customs by probing down to their origins in order to show how they lack authority and justice.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

We think very little of time ...

We think very little of time present; we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we recall the past to stay it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here, regardless only of the moment that is actually our own.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

One has followed the other in...

One has followed the other in an endless circle, for it is certain that as man's insight increases so he finds both wretchedness and greatness within himself. In a word man knows he is wretched. Thus he is wretched because he is so, but he is truly great because he knows it.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Fashion is a tyrant from whic...

Fashion is a tyrant from which nothing frees us. We must suit ourselves to its fantastic tastes. But being compelled to live under its foolish laws, the wise man is never the first to follow, nor the last to keep it.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Man is clearly made to think....

Man is clearly made to think. It is his whole dignity and his whole merit; and his whole duty is to think as he ought. And the order of thought is to begin with ourselves, and with our Author and our end.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

If a man loves a woman for he...

If a man loves a woman for her beauty, does he love her? No; for the smallpox, which destroys her beauty without killing her, causes his love to cease. And if any one loves me for my judgment or my memory, does he really love me? No; for I can lose these qualities without ceasing to be.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

What can be seen on earth poi...

What can be seen on earth points to neither the total absence nor the obvious presence of divinity, but to the presence of a hidden God. Everything bears this mark.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

What part of us feels pleasur...

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

Faith is a sounder guide than...

Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

We are only troubled by the f...

We are only troubled by the fears which we, and not nature, give ourselves, for they add to the state in which we are the passions of the state in which we are not.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Jesus was in a garden, not of...

Jesus was in a garden, not of delight as the first Adam, in which he destroyed himself and the whole human race, but in one of agony, in which he saved himself and the whole human race.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Eloquence is a way of saying ...

Eloquence is a way of saying things in such a way, first, that those to whom we speak may listen to them without pain and with pleasure, and second, that they feel themselves interested, so that self-love leads them more willingly to reflection upon it.
