It is certain that the soul i...

It is certain that the soul is either mortal or immortal. The decision of this question must make a total difference in the principles of morals. Yet philosophers have arranged their moral system entirely independent of this. What an extraordinary blindness!

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Passion cannot be beautiful w...

Passion cannot be beautiful without excess; one either loves too much or not enough.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Curiosity is only vanity. We ...

Curiosity is only vanity. We usually only want to know something so that we can talk about it.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

A man does not show his great...

A man does not show his greatness by being at one extremity, but rather by touching both at once.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Silence is the greatest persecution; never do the saints keep themselves silent.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

No one is offended at not see...

No one is offended at not seeing everything; but one does not like to be mistaken, and that perhaps arises from the fact that man naturally cannot see everything, and that naturally he cannot err in the side he looks at, since the perceptions of our senses are always true.

Brave deeds are wasted when hidden.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Our nature lies in movement; complete calm is death.

The entire ocean is affected by a single pebble.

The best defense against logic is ignorance.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Death itself is less painful ...

Death itself is less painful when it comes upon us unawares than the bare contemplation of it, even when danger is far distant.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Instinct teaches us to look for happiness outside ourselves.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Nothing is so intolerable to ...

Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without passion, without business, without entertainment, without care. It is then that he recognizes that he is empty, insufficient, dependent, ineffectual. From the depths of his soul now comes at once boredom, gloom, sorrow, chagrin, resentment and despair.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

It is the contest that delights us, and not the victory.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Being unable to cure death, w...

Being unable to cure death, wretchedness, and ignorance, men have decided, in order to be happy, not to think about such things.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

When we would show any one th...

When we would show any one that he is mistaken, our best course is to observe on what side he considers the subject,--for his view of if is generally right on this side,--and admit to him that he is right so far. He will be satisfied with this acknowledgment, that he was not wrong in his judgment, but only inadvertent in not looking at the whole case.

Wisdom leads us back to childhood.

If it is an extraordinary blindness to live without investigating what we are, it is a terrible one to live an evil life, while believing in God

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Anyone who does not see the v...

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.

Blaise Pascal 915 quotes

Plurality which is not reduced to unity is confusion; unity which does not depend on plurality is tyranny.
