Select Blaise Pascal Quotations
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.
Blaise Pascal
Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Blaise Pascal
Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness... and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse him.
Blaise Pascal
Love has reasons which reason cannot understand.
Blaise Pascal
If all men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friends in the world.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have everything one wants.
Blaise Pascal
