More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
The more a government strives to curtail freedom of speech, the more obstinately is it resisted not indeed by the avaricious, ... but by those whom good education, sound morality, and virtue have rendered more free.
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
True piety for the universe but no time for religions made for man's convenience.
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
A miracle signifies nothing more than an event... the cause of which cannot be explained by another familiar instance, or.... which the narrator is unable to explain.
Baruch Spinoza
The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak.
Baruch Spinoza
He who hates anyone will endeavor to do him an injury, unless he fears that a greater injury will thereby accrue to himself on the other hand, he who loves anyone will, by the same law, seek to benefit him.
Baruch Spinoza
Better that right counsels be known to enemies than that the evil secrets of tyrants should be concealed from the citizens. They who can treat secretly of the affairs of a nation have it absolutely under their authority and as they plot against the enemy in time of war, so do they against the citizens in time of peace.
Baruch Spinoza
The idea, which constitutes the actual being of the human mind, is not simple, but compounded of a great number of ideas.
Baruch Spinoza
The less the mind understands and the more things it perceives, the greater its power of feigning is and the more things it understands, the more that power is diminished.
Baruch Spinoza
None are more taken in by flattery than the proud, who wish to be the first and are not.
Baruch Spinoza
Men who are ruled by reason desire nothing for themselves which they would not wish for all mankind.
Baruch Spinoza
True virtue is life under the direction of reason.
Baruch Spinoza
Surely human affairs would be far happier if the power in men to be silent were the same as that to speak. But experience more than sufficiently teaches that men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues.
Baruch Spinoza
All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.
Baruch Spinoza
I believe that a triangle, if it could speak, would say that God is eminently triangular, and a circle that the divine nature is eminently circular and thus would every one ascribe his own attributes to God.
Baruch Spinoza
If men were born free, they would, so long as they remained free, form no conception of good and evil.
Baruch Spinoza
Love is pleasure accompanied by the idea of an external cause, and hatred pain accompanied by the idea of an external cause.
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
Will and intellect are one and the same thing.
Baruch Spinoza
