But this is not natural. Each keeps its own place  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) ... Whoever imagines a woman after this model, which consists in saying little things in big words, will see a pretty girl adorned with mirrors and chains  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) The same meaning changes with the words which express it. Meanings receive their dignity from words instead of giving it to them  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Imagination cannot make fools wise, but it makes them happy, as against reason, which only makes its friends wretched: one covers them with glory, the other with shame  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Put the world’s greatest philosopher on a plank that is wider than need be; if there is a precipice below, although his reason may convince him that he is safe, his imagination will prevail  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Things which have most hold on us, as the concealment of our few possessions, are often a mere nothing.

Passions and desires suitable to our present state. We are only troubled by the fears which we, and not nature, give ourselves  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) All is one, all is different. How many natures exist in man? How many vocations? And by what chance does each man ordinarily choose what he has heard praised?  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) How useless is painting, which attracts admiration by the resemblance of things, the originals of which we do not admire!  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) After all he is only a man, that is to say capable of little and of much, of all and of nothing; he is neither angel nor brute, but man  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Men spend their time chasing a ball or a hare; it is the very sport of kings  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Pride takes such natural possession of us in the midst of our woes, errors, etc. We even lose our life with joy, provided people talk of it  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) It is not shameful for a man to succumb to pain and it is shameful to succumb to pleasure  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) How wonderful it is that a thing so evident as the vanity of the world is so little known, that it is a strange and surprising thing to say that it is foolish to seek greatness!  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) He who will know fully the vanity of man has only to consider the causes and effects of love  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) If our condition were truly happy we should not need to divert ourselves from thinking about it  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) To be happy man would have to make himself immortal; but, not being able to do so, it has occurred to him to prevent himself from thinking of death  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) We know ourselves so little, that many think they are about to die when they are well, and many think they are well when they are near death  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Anyone who found the secret of rejoicing when things go well without being annoyed when they go badly would have found the point  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Make religion attractive, make good men wish it were true, and then show that it is. Worthy of reverence because it really understands human nature. Attractive because it promises true good  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) That passion may not harm us, let us act as if we had only eight hours to live  (Blaise Pascal Quotes) Art thou less a slave by being loved and favoured by thy master? Thou art indeed well off, slave. Thy master favours thee; he will soon beat thee  (Blaise Pascal Quotes)
