More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
. . . to know the order of nature, and regard the universe as orderly is the highest function of the mind.
Baruch Spinoza
Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear.
Baruch Spinoza
If facts conflict with a theory, either the theory must be changed or the facts.
Baruch Spinoza
Faith is nothing but obedience and piety.
Baruch Spinoza
I can control my passions and emotions if I can understand their nature
Baruch Spinoza
Things could not have been brought into being by God in any manner or in any order different from that which has in fact obtained.
Baruch Spinoza
Nature offers nothing that can be called this man's rather than another's but under nature everything belongs to all.
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

Baruch Spinoza
He who wishes to revenge injuries by reciprocal hatred will live in misery. But he who endeavors to drive away hatred by means of love, fights with pleasure and confidence he resists equally one or many men, and scarcely needs at all the help of fortune. Those whom he conquers yield joyfully
Baruch Spinoza
The greatest pride, or the greatest despondency, is the greatest ignorance of one's self.
Baruch Spinoza
Of all the things that are beyond my power, I value nothing more highly than to be allowed the honor of entering into bonds of friendship with people who sincerely love truth. For, of things beyond our power, I believe there is nothing in the world which we can love with tranquility except such men.
Baruch Spinoza
We must take care not to admit as true anything, which is only probable. For when one falsity has been let in, infinite others follow.
Baruch Spinoza
I call him free who is led solely by reason.
Baruch Spinoza
Everything in nature is a cause from which there flows some effect.
Baruch Spinoza
Desire is the very essence of man
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
Academies that are founded at public expense are instituted not so much to cultivate men's natural abilities as to restrain them.
Baruch Spinoza
The virtue of a free man appears equally great in refusing to face difficulties as in overcoming them.
Baruch Spinoza
Statesman are suspected of plotting against mankind, rather than consulting their interests, and are esteemed more crafty than learned.
Baruch Spinoza
