More quotes by Baruch Spinoza

Baruch Spinoza
Ambition is the immoderate desire for honor.
Baruch Spinoza
Desire is the very essence of man
Baruch Spinoza
. . . to know the order of nature, and regard the universe as orderly is the highest function of the mind.
Baruch Spinoza
The highest endeavor of the mind, and the highest virtue, it to understand things by intuition.

Baruch Spinoza
We feel and know that we are eternal.
Baruch Spinoza

Baruch Spinoza
Indulge yourself in pleasures only in so far as they are necessary for the preservation of health.
Baruch Spinoza
Nature has no goal in view, and final causes are only human imaginings.
Baruch Spinoza
Yet nature cannot be contravened, but preserves a fixed and immutable order.
Baruch Spinoza
Freedom is absolutely necessary for the progress in science and the liberal arts.
Baruch Spinoza
If you want the present to be different from the past, study the past.
Baruch Spinoza
Self-complacency is pleasure accompanied by the idea of oneself as cause.

All is One (Nature, God)
