Inspiration Quote by Blaise Pascal — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The last thing one discovers in composing a work is what to put first.”

“The world is a good judge of things, for it is in natural ignorance, which is man's true state. The sciences have two extremes which meet. The first is the pure natural ignorance in which all men find themselves at birth. The other extreme is that reached by great intellects, who, having run through all that men can know, find they know nothing, and come back again to that same ignorance from which they set out; but this is a learned ignorance which is conscious of itself. Those between the two, who have departed from natural ignorance and not been able to reach the other, have some smattering of this vain knowledge and pretend to be wise. These trouble the world and are bad judges of everything. The people and the wise constitute the world; these despise it, and are despised. They judge badly of everything, and the world judges rightly of them.”

“Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.”

“Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.”

“Keep silence for the most part, and speak only when you must, and then briefly.”

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”

“He is able who thinks he is able.”

“Snowflakes are one of natures most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together.”
