More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
Nature has no goal in view, and final causes are only human imaginings.

Baruch Spinoza
Whatsoever is, is in God.
Baruch Spinoza
It is usually the case with most men that their nature is so constituted that they pity those who fare badly and envy those who fare well.

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
Many errors, of a truth, consist merely in the application of the wrong names of things.
Baruch Spinoza
I make this chief distinction between religion and superstition, that the latter is founded on ignorance, the former on knowledge.
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
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
True virtue is life under the direction of reason.
Baruch Spinoza
Desire is the very essence of man
Baruch Spinoza
All is One (Nature, God)
