More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
Whatsoever is, is in God.
Baruch Spinoza
I can control my passions and emotions if I can understand their nature
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. 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
Men who are ruled by reason desire nothing for themselves which they would not wish for all mankind.
Baruch Spinoza
If men were born free, they would, so long as they remained free, form no conception of good and evil.
Baruch Spinoza
The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak.
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
All is One (Nature, God)
Baruch Spinoza
Faith is nothing but obedience and piety.
Baruch Spinoza
There is no fear without some hope, and no hope without some fear.
Baruch Spinoza
Everything in nature is a cause from which there flows some effect.
Baruch Spinoza
I shall consider human actions and desires in exactly the same manner, as though I were concerned with lines, planes and solids.
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
God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things.
Baruch Spinoza
Ambition is the immoderate desire for honor.
Baruch Spinoza
Desire is the very essence of man
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
What everyone wants from life is continuous and genuine happiness.
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
