There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.

There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.

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
God, Heart, Existentialism
Blaise Pascal (1966). “Pascal Pensées”, Penguin Classics

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
Change, God, Knowledge

If there were only one religion, God would indeed be manifest.

Blaise Pascal

If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

Blaise Pascal
Funny, God, Humorous
"Pensées". Book by Blaise Pascal, 1669.

Either God exists or He doesn't. Either I believe in God or I don't. Of the four possibilities, only one is to my disadvantage. To avoid that possibility, I believe in God.

Blaise Pascal
God, Believe, Four

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
God, Ignorant, Limits
Blaise Pascal (2013). “Pensées”, p.66, Courier Corporation

If man were happy, he would be the more so, the less he was diverted, like the saints and God.

Blaise Pascal
Happiness, God, Men

The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.

Blaise Pascal
Valentines Day, God, Knowledge
Blaise Pascal (2015). “Pensees: Thoughts on Religion”, p.94, Letcetera Publishing

Nothing is more dastardly than to act with bravado toward God.

Blaise Pascal
God, Bravery, Cowardice

When we would think of God, how many things we find which turn us away from Him, and tempt us to think otherwise. All this is evil, yet it is innate.

Blaise Pascal
God, Thinking, Evil
Blaise Pascal (1829). “Thoughts on Religion and Other Subjects”, p.214

God is, or He is not." But to which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here. There is an infinite chaos which separated us. A game is being played at the extremity of this infinite distance where heads or tails will turn up. What will you wager?

Blaise Pascal
God, Distance, Games
Pensees no. 680 (1658). Popularly known as "Pascal's wager."
