I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.
Baruch Spinoza
. . . to know the order of nature, and regard the universe as orderly is the highest function of the mind.
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.

God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things.
Baruch Spinoza
