“Just as all things speak about God to those that know Him, and reveal Him to those that love Him, they also hide Him from all those that neither seek nor know Him.”
Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)

Blaise Pascal (Earth)
“What can be seen on earth points to neither the total absence nor the obvious presence of divinity, but to the presence of a hidden God. Everything bears this mark.”
Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)
Blaise Pascal (Death)
“Reflect on death as in Jesus Christ, not as without Jesus Christ. Without Jesus Christ it is dreadful, it is alarming, it is the terror of nature. In Jesus Christ it is fair and lovely, it is good and holy, it is the joy of saints.”
Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)
Blaise Pascal (Vacuum)
“There is a God-shaped vacuum in every heart.”
Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)
Blaise Pascal (Christianity)
“The Christian religion teaches me two points-that there is a God whom men can know, and that their nature is so corrupt that they are unworthy of Him.”
Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)
Blaise Pascal (Jesus Christ)
“Not only do we know God by Jesus Christ alone, but we know ourselves only by Jesus Christ. We know life and death only through Jesus Christ. Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.”
Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)
Blaise Pascal (Wretchedness)
“Knowing God without knowing our own wretchedness makes for pride. Knowing our own wretchedness without knowing God makes for despair. Knowing Jesus Christ strikes the balance because he shows us both God and our own wretchedness.”
Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)
Blaise Pascal (Muhammad)
“Muhammad established a religion by putting his enemies to death; Jesus Christ by commanding his followers to lay down their lives.”
Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)
Blaise Pascal (The Heart)
“It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.”
Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)
Blaise Pascal (Religion)
“Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true. The cure for this is first to show that religion is not contrary to reason, but worthy of reverence and respect. Next make it attractive, make good men wish it were true and then show that it is.”
Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)
