Quotes

Do not be astonished to see simple people believing without argument. God makes them love him and hate themselves. He inclines their hearts to believe. We shall never believe, with an effective belief and faith, unless God inclines our hearts. Blaise Pascal
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
Blaise Pascal quote: "The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him."
The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him. Blaise Pascal
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
Blaise Pascal quote: "That we must love one God only is a thing so evident that it..."
That we must love one God only is a thing so evident that it does not require miracles to prove it. Blaise Pascal
There are only three types of people; those who have found God and serve him; those who have not found God and seek him, and those who live not seeking, or finding him. The first are rational and happy; the second unhappy and rational, and the third foolish and unhappy. Blaise Pascal
The Stoics say, " Retire within yourselves; it is there you will find your rest." And that is not true. Others say, "Go out of yourselves; seek happiness in amusement." And this is not true. Illness comes. Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us. Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal quote: "Happiness can be found neither in ourselves nor in external..."
Happiness can be found neither in ourselves nor in external things, but in God and in ourselves as united to him. Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal quote: "Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God,..."
Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us. Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal quote: "Happiness is neither within us only, or without us; it is the..."
Happiness is neither within us only, or without us; it is the union of ourselves with God Blaise Pascal
We know that there is an infinite, and we know not its nature. As we know it to be false that numbers are finite, it is therefore true that there is a numerical infinity. But we know not of what kind; it is untrue that it is even, untrue that it is odd; for the addition of a unit does not change its nature; yet it is a number, and every number is odd or even (this certainly holds of every finite number). Thus we may quite well know that there is a God without knowing what He is. Blaise Pascal
We naturally believe we are more capable of reaching the centre of things than of embracing their circumference, and the visible extent of the world is visibly greater than we. But since we in our turn are greater than small things, we think we are more capable of mastering them, and yet it takes no less capacity to reach nothingness than the whole. In either case it takes an infinite capacity, and it seems to me that anyone who had understood the ultimate principles of things might also... Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal quote: "He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may..."
He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God's providence to lead him aright. Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal quote: "God wishes to move the will rather than the mind. Perfect..."
God wishes to move the will rather than the mind. Perfect clarity would help the mind and harm the will. Blaise Pascal
We know the existence of the infinite without knowing its nature, because it too has extension but unlike us no limits. But we do not know either the existence or the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits. Blaise Pascal
