It only leaps to them, not as upon a throne, forever, but merely for an instant  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) The great mass of people judge well of things, for they are in natural ignorance, which is man’s true state  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) The only thing which consoles for our miseries is diversion, and yet this is the greatest of our miseries.

Because a cripple recognizes that we walk straight, whereas a fool declares that it is we who are silly; if it were not so, we should feel pity and not anger  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Thought makes the whole dignity of man; therefore endeavor to think well, that is the only morality  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) God only pours out his light into the mind after having subdued the rebellion of the will by an altogether heavenly gentleness which charms and wins it  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) No one is ignorant that there are two avenues by which opinions are received into the soul, which are its two principal powers: the understanding and the will  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) All human evil comes from a single cause, man’s inability to sit still in a room  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Concupiscence and force are the source of all our actions; concupiscence causes voluntary actions, force involuntary ones  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Continuous eloquence wearies. Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Desire and force between them are responsible for all our actions; desire causes our voluntary acts, force our involuntary  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Do you wish people to think well of you? Don’t speak well of yourself  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Even those who write against fame wish for the fame of having written well, and those who read their works desire the fame of having read them  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) I can well conceive a man without hands, feet, head. But I cannot conceive man without thought; he would be a stone or a brute  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) I maintain that, if everyone knew what others said about him, there would not be four friends in the world  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) If man made himself the first object of study, he would see how incapable he is of going further. How can a part know the whole?  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) If our condition were truly happy, we would not seek diversion from it in order to make ourselves happy  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) If we examine our thoughts, we shall find them always occupied with the past and the future  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) In each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) It is natural for the mind to believe and for the will to love; so that, for want of true objects, they must attach themselves to false  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Justice is what is established; and thus all our established laws will necessarily be regarded as just without examination, since they are established  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Nothing fortifies scepticism more than the fact that there are some who are not sceptics; if all were so, they would be wrong  (Blaise Pascal Quotes)
