More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
Nothing in nature is by chance... Something appears to be chance only because of our lack of knowledge.
Baruch Spinoza
I can control my passions and emotions if I can understand their nature
Baruch Spinoza
I do not presume that I have found the best philosophy, I know that I understand the true philosophy.
Baruch Spinoza
I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.
Baruch Spinoza
Laws which prescribe what everyone must believe, and forbid men to say or write anything against this or that opinion, are often passed to gratify, or rather to appease the anger of those who cannot abide independent minds.
Baruch Spinoza
Philosophers conceive of the passions which harass us as vices into which men fall by their own fault, and, therefore, generally deride, bewail, or blame them, or execrate them, if they wish to seem unusually pious.
Baruch Spinoza
Many errors, of a truth, consist merely in the application of the wrong names of things. For if a man says that the lines which are drawn from the centre of the circle to the circumference are not equal, he understands by the circle, at all events for the time, something else than mathematicians understand by it.
Baruch Spinoza
I have resolved to demonstrate by a certain and undoubted course of argument, or to deduce from the very condition of human nature, not what is new and unheard of, but only such things as agree best with practice.
Baruch Spinoza
Freedom is absolutely necessary for the progress in science and the liberal arts.
Baruch Spinoza
Hatred which is completely vanquished by love passes into love: and love is thereupon greater than if hatred had not preceded it.
Baruch Spinoza
The human mind cannot be absolutely destroyed along with the body, but something of it remains, which is eternal.
Baruch Spinoza
Men believe themselves to be free, simply because they are conscious of their actions, and unconscious of the causes whereby those actions are determined.
Baruch Spinoza
Reality and perfection are synonymous.
Baruch Spinoza
The greatest good is the knowledge of the union which the mind has with the whole nature.
Baruch Spinoza
There is no fear without some hope, and no hope without some fear.
Baruch Spinoza
No matter how thin you slice it, there will always be two sides.
Baruch Spinoza
He who seeks equality between unequals seeks an absurdity.
Baruch Spinoza
True piety for the universe but no time for religions made for man's convenience.
Baruch Spinoza
I should attempt to treat human vice and folly geometrically... the passions of hatred, anger, envy, and so on, considered in themselves, follow from the necessity and efficacy of nature... I shall, therefore, treat the nature and strength of the emotion in exactly the same manner, as though I were concerned with lines, planes, and solids.
Baruch Spinoza
All is One (Nature, God)
