God is a thing that thinks.
Baruch Spinoza
self-preservation is the primary and only foundation of virtue.
Baruch Spinoza
Many errors, of a truth, consist merely in the application of the wrong names of things.

Baruch Spinoza
Indulge yourself in pleasures only in so far as they are necessary for the preservation of health.
Baruch Spinoza
Sin cannot be conceived in a natural state, but only in a civil state, where it is decreed by common consent what is good or bad.
Baruch Spinoza
