More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
Measure, time and number are nothing but modes of thought or rather of imagination.
Baruch Spinoza
[Believers] are but triflers who, when they cannot explain a thing, run back to the will of God this is, truly, a ridiculous way of expressing ignorance.
Baruch Spinoza
He, who knows how to distinguish between true and false, must have an adequate idea of true and false.
Baruch Spinoza
The proper study of a wise man is not how to die but how to live.
Baruch Spinoza
Those who know the true use of money, and regulate the measure of wealth according to their needs, live contented with few things.
Baruch Spinoza
Indulge yourself in pleasures only in so far as they are necessary for the preservation of health.
Baruch Spinoza
The more intelligible a thing is, the more easily it is retained in the memory, and counterwise, the less intelligible it is, the more easily we forget it.
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
He who regulates everything by laws, is more likely to arouse vices than reform them.
Baruch Spinoza
For peace is not mere absence of war, but is a virtue that springs from force of character: for obedience is the constant will to execute what, by the general decree of the commonwealth, ought to be done.
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
If anyone conceives that he is loved by another, and believes that he has given no cause for such love, he will love that other in return.
Baruch Spinoza
Schisms do not originate in a love of truth, which is a source of courtesy and gentleness, but rather in an inordinate desire for supremacy.
Baruch Spinoza
No one doubts but that we imagine time from the very fact that we imagine other bodies to be moved slower or faster or equally fast. We are accustomed to determine duration by the aid of some measure of motion.
Baruch Spinoza
The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.
Baruch Spinoza
Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear.
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
He who seeks equality between unequals seeks an absurdity.
Baruch Spinoza
None are more taken in by flattery than the proud, who wish to be the first and are not.
Baruch Spinoza
Let unswerving integrity be your watchword.
Baruch Spinoza
