In difficult times carry something beautiful in your heart.

Beautiful, Heart, Difficult Times

There is a God-shaped vacuum in every heart.

Spiritual, Heart, Vacuums

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.

God, Heart, Existentialism

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

The God of Christians is a God of love and comfort, a God who fills the soul and heart of those whom he possesses, a God who makes them conscious of their inward wretchedness, and his infinite mercy; who unites himself to their inmost soul, who fills it with humility and joy, with confidence and love, who renders them incapable of any other end than himself.

Christian, Heart, Humility

Blaise Pascal (2010). “Thoughts, Letters & Minor Works”, p.186, Cosimo, Inc.

No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart; and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.

Believe, Heart, Men

Blaise Pascal, Thomas Adam (1833). “Thoughts on religion”, p.38

The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of... We know the truth not only by the reason, but by the heart." - Blaise Pascal

Heart, Pascal, Reason

There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.

Heart, Two, People

Blaise Pascal (2013). “Pensées”, p.58, Courier Corporation

It has pleased God that divine verities should not enter the heart through the understanding, but the understanding through the heart.

Heart, Understanding, Divine

It is the conduct of God, who disposes all things kindly, to put religion into the mind by reason, and into the heart by grace.

Heart, Grace, Mind

Blaise Pascal (2010). “Thoughts, Letters & Minor Works”, p.68, Cosimo, Inc.

How hollow is the heart of man, and how full of excrement!

Heart, Men, Hollow

"Pensées" by Blaise Pascal, 1669.

All the excesses, all the violence, and all the vanity of great men, come from the fact that they know not what they are: it being difficult for those who regard themselves at heart as equal with all men... For this it is necessary for one to forget himself, and to believe that he has some real excellence above them, in which consists this illusion that I am endeavoring to discover to you.

Real, Believe, Heart

Blaise Pascal (1961). “Thoughts”

God has given us evidence sufficiently clear to convince those with an open heart and mind.

Heart, Mind, Given

We know truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.

Wisdom, Truth, Heart

"Blaise Pascal Thoughts: Selected and Translated".

The heart has arguments with which the logic of mind is not aquainted.

Heart, Mind, Logic

We know the truth not only through our reason but also through our heart. It is through the latter that we know first principles, and reason, which has nothing to do with it, tries in vain to refute them.

Truth, Heart, Trying

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

It is certain that those who have the living faith in their hearts see at once that all existence is none other than the work of the God whom they adore. But for those in whom this light is extinguished, [if we were to show them our proofs of the existence of God] nothing is more calculated to arouse their contempt. . . .

Heart, Light, Proof

Christian piety annihilates the egoism of the heart; worldly politeness veils and represses it.

Christian, Heart, Veils

Vanity is so secure in the heart of man that everyone wants to be admired: even I who write this, and you who read this.

Writing, Heart, Men

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.

Heart, Giving, Reason

It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason.

Heart, Math, Reason

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

Man is nothing but insincerity, falsehood, and hypocrisy, both in regard to himself and in regard to others. He does not wish that he should be told the truth, he shuns saying it to others; and all these moods, so inconsistent with justice and reason, have their roots in his heart.

Heart, Men, Roots

The mind has its arrangement; it proceeds from principles to demonstrations. The heart has a different mode of proceeding.

Heart, Mind, Principles

The heart has its order, the mind has its own, which uses principles and demonstrations. The heart has a different one. We do not prove that we ought to be loved by setting out in order the causes of love; that would be absurd.

Heart, Order, Mind

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

Vanity is so anchored in the heart of man that a soldier, a soldier's servant, a cook, a porter brags and wishes to have his admirers. Even philosophers wish for them. Those who write against vanity want to have the glory of having written well; and those who read it desire the glory of having read it. I who write this have perhaps this desire, and perhaps those who will read it.

Philosophical, Writing, Heart

Blaise Pascal (2013). “Pensées”, p.46, Courier Corporation

Generally we are occupied either with the miseries which now we feel, or with those which threaten; and even when we see ourselves sufficiently secure from the approach of either, still fretfulness, though unwarranted by either present or expected affliction, fails not to spring up from the deep recesses of the heart, where its roots naturally grow, and to fill the soul with its poison.

Spring, Heart, Roots

Blaise Pascal (1829). “Thoughts on Religion and Other Subjects”, p.91
