Blaise Pascal

No one dies so poor that he does not leave something behind.

Blaise Pascal

Nothing gives rest but the sincere search for truth.

Blaise Pascal

One must have deeper motives and judge everything accordingly, but go on talking like an ordinary person.

Blaise Pascal

One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.

Blaise Pascal

Our intellect holds the same position in the world of thought as our body occupies in the expanse of nature.

Blaise Pascal

Our reason is always disappointed by the inconstancy of appearances.

Blaise Pascal

People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they have themselves discovered than by those which have come in to the mind of others.

Blaise Pascal

Perfect clarity would profit the intellect but damage the will.

Blaise Pascal

Reason commands us far more imperiously than a master; for in disobeying the one we are unfortunate, and in disobeying the other we are fools.

Blaise Pascal

Reason is the slow and torturous method by which those who do not know the truth discover it.
