More quotes by 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 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
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
No matter how thin you slice it, there will always be two sides.
Baruch Spinoza
I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.
Baruch Spinoza
Let unswerving integrity be your watchword.
Baruch Spinoza
If you want the present to be different from the past, study the past.
Baruch Spinoza
The greatest good is the knowledge of the union which the mind has with the whole nature.
Baruch Spinoza
Statesman are suspected of plotting against mankind, rather than consulting their interests, and are esteemed more crafty than learned.
Baruch Spinoza
In proportion as we endeavor to live according to the guidance of reason, shall we strive as much as possible to depend less on hope, to liberate ourselves from fear, to rule fortune, and to direct our actions by the sure counsels of reason.
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 made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.
Baruch Spinoza
If we conceive that anyone loves, desires, or hates anything which we ourselves love, desire, or hate, we shall thereupon regard the thing in question with more steadfast love, etc. On the contrary, if we think that anyone shrinks from something that we love, we shall undergo vacillation of the soul.
Baruch Spinoza
Nothing in nature is by chance... Something appears to be chance only because of our lack of knowledge.
Baruch Spinoza
Whatsoever is, is in God.
Baruch Spinoza
He who seeks equality between unequals seeks an absurdity.
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
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
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 things excellent are as difficult as they are rare.
Baruch Spinoza
