Blaise Pascal

(1623–1662) · French Mathematician

If we must not act save on a certainty, we ought not to act on religion, for it is not certain. But how many things we do on an uncertainty, sea voyages, battles!
The eternal silence of these infinite spaces frightens me.
Through space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom; through thought I comprehend the world.
He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God's providence to lead him aright.
It is natural for the mind to believe and for the will to love; so that, for want of true objects, they must attach themselves to false.
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.
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.
Faith is different from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God.
Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.
Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.
