More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
Freedom is absolutely necessary for the progress in science and the liberal arts.
Baruch Spinoza
We feel and know that we are eternal.
Baruch Spinoza
Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear.
Baruch Spinoza
Philosophers conceive of the passions which harass us as vices into which men fall by their own fault, and, therefore, generally deride, bewail, or blame them, or execrate them, if they wish to seem unusually pious.
Baruch Spinoza
I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.
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
I can control my passions and emotions if I can understand their nature
Baruch Spinoza
Measure, time and number are nothing but modes of thought or rather of imagination.
Baruch Spinoza
True knowledge of good and evil as we possess is merely abstract or general, and the judgment which we pass on the order of things and the connection of causes, with a view to determining what is good or bad for us in the present, is rather imaginary than real.
Baruch Spinoza
The human mind cannot be absolutely destroyed along with the body, but something of it remains, which is eternal.
Baruch Spinoza
Statesman are suspected of plotting against mankind, rather than consulting their interests, and are esteemed more crafty than learned.
Baruch Spinoza
Faith is nothing but obedience and piety.
Baruch Spinoza
It is sure that those are most desirous of honour or glory who cry out loudest of its abuse and the vanity of the world.
Baruch Spinoza
Be not astonished at new ideas for it is well known to you that a thing does not therefore cease to be true because it is not accepted by many.
Baruch Spinoza
We must take care not to admit as true anything, which is only probable. For when one falsity has been let in, infinite others follow.
Baruch Spinoza
In the state of nature, wrong-doing is impossible or, if anyone does wrong, it is to himself, not to another.
Baruch Spinoza
All is One (Nature, God)
Baruch Spinoza
Nature has no goal in view, and final causes are only human imaginings.
Baruch Spinoza
Men are especially intolerant of serving and being ruled by, their equals.
Baruch Spinoza
He who seeks equality between unequals seeks an absurdity.
Baruch Spinoza
