Blaise Pascal (Love)

“Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.”

Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)

Blaise Pascal (Truth)

“We make an idol of truth itself, for truth apart from charity is not God, but his image and an idol that we must not love or worship.”

Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)

Blaise Pascal (Virtuous)

“There are only two types of people: the virtuous who believe themselves to be sinners and the sinners who believe themselves to be virtuous.”

Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)

Blaise Pascal (Infinite)

“We know then the existence and nature of the finite, because we also are finite and have extension. We know the existence of the infinite and are ignorant of its nature, because it has extension like us, but not limits like us. But we know neither the existence nor the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits.”

Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)

Blaise Pascal (Gain)

“If I believe in God and life after death and you do not, and if there is no God, we both lose when we die. However, if there is a God, you still lose and I gain everything.”

Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)

Blaise Pascal (Darkness)

“Human beings do not know their place and purpose. They have fallen from their true place, and lost their true purpose. They search everywhere for their place and purpose, with great anxiety. But they cannot find them because they are surrounded by darkness.”

Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)

Blaise Pascal (Reason)

“The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing. We feel it in a thousand things. I say that the heart naturally loves the Universal Being, and naturally loves itself; and it gives itself to one or the other, and hardens itself against one or the other, as it chooses…it is the heart that feels God, not the reason; this is faith.”

Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)
