Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.
Blaise Pascal
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.

Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world.
Blaise Pascal
Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?
Blaise Pascal
Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.
Blaise Pascal
Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.
Blaise Pascal
We are not satisfied with real life; we want to live some imaginary life in the eyes of other people and to seem different from what we actually are
Blaise Pascal
When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of space of which I am ignorant, and which knows me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there, why now rather than then?
Blaise Pascal
