Child prodigy, Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, philosopher and writer, whose work and wisdom still resonates to this day. This is a collection of 100 of the Frenchman's most celebrated quotes.

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, philosopher, and writer. A child prodigy, he laid the foundation work for today’s modern theory of probabilities and formulated what came to be known as Pascal’s principle of pressure. The Frenchman also corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on probability theory, strongly influencing the development of modern economics. He is also one of the first two inventors of the mechanical calculator, having started pioneering work on calculating machines called Pascal's calculators or Pascalines.
