More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
The greatest pride, or the greatest despondency, is the greatest ignorance of one's self.
Baruch Spinoza
...The body is affected by the image of the thing, in the same way as if the thing were actually present.
Baruch Spinoza
. . . to know the order of nature, and regard the universe as orderly is the highest function of the mind.
Baruch Spinoza
The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak.
Baruch Spinoza
Desire is the very essence of man
Baruch Spinoza
The most tyrannical of governments are those which make crimes of opinions, for everyone has an inalienable right to his thoughts.
Baruch Spinoza
Measure, time and number are nothing but modes of thought or rather of imagination.
Baruch Spinoza
Schisms do not originate in a love of truth, which is a source of courtesy and gentleness, but rather in an inordinate desire for supremacy.
Baruch Spinoza
In the mind there is no absolute or free will but the mind is determined to wish this or that by a cause, which has also been determined by another cause, and this last by another cause, and so on to infinity.
Baruch Spinoza
Faith is nothing but obedience and piety.
Baruch Spinoza
Many errors, of a truth, consist merely in the application of the wrong names of things.
Baruch Spinoza
He who lives according to the guidance of reason strives as much as possible to repay the hatred, anger, or contempt of others towards himself with love or generosity. ...hatred is increased by reciprocal hatred, and, on the other hand, can be extinguished by love, so that hatred passes into love.
Baruch Spinoza
No to laugh, not to lament, not to detest, but to understand.
Baruch Spinoza
How would it be possible if salvation were ready to our hand, and could without great labor be found, that it should be by almost all men neglected? But all things excellent are as difficult as they are rare.
Baruch Spinoza
The safest way for a state is to lay down the rule that religion is comprised solely in the exercise of charity and justice, and that the rights of rulers in sacred, no less than in secular matters, should merely have to do with actions, but that every man should think what he likes and say what he thinks.
Baruch Spinoza
The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.
Baruch Spinoza
The virtue of a free man appears equally great in refusing to face difficulties as in overcoming them.
Baruch Spinoza
The more you struggle to live, the less you live. Give up the notion that you must be sure of what you are doing. Instead, surrender to what is real within you, for that alone is sure....you are above everything distressing.
Baruch Spinoza
If anyone conceives that he is loved by another, and believes that he has given no cause for such love, he will love that other in return.
Baruch Spinoza
Men are especially intolerant of serving and being ruled by, their equals.
Baruch Spinoza
