More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
Men are especially intolerant of serving and being ruled by, their equals.
Baruch Spinoza
Except God no substance can be granted or conceived. .. Everything, I say, is in God, and all things which are made, are made by the laws of the infinite nature of God, and necessarily follows from the necessity of his essence.
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
To comprehend an idea, a person must simultaneously accept it as true. Conscious analysis - which, depending on the idea, may occur almost immediately or with considerable effort - allows the mind to reject what it intially accepted as fact.
Baruch Spinoza
Academies that are founded at public expense are instituted not so much to cultivate men's natural abilities as to restrain them.
Baruch Spinoza
The more you struggle to live, the less you live. Give up the notion that you must be sure of what you are doing. Instead, surrender to what is real within you, for that alone is sure....you are above everything distressing.
Baruch Spinoza
As though God had turned away from the wise, and written his decrees, not in the mind of man but in the entrails of beasts, or left them to be proclaimed by the inspiration and instinct of fools, madmen, and birds. Such is the unreason to which terror can drive mankind!
Baruch Spinoza
The more a government strives to curtail freedom of speech, the more obstinately is it resisted not indeed by the avaricious, ... but by those whom good education, sound morality, and virtue have rendered more free.
Baruch Spinoza
Desire is the very essence of man
Baruch Spinoza
The proper study of a wise man is not how to die but how to live.
Baruch Spinoza
Nature has no goal in view, and final causes are only human imaginings.
Baruch Spinoza
I have resolved to demonstrate by a certain and undoubted course of argument, or to deduce from the very condition of human nature, not what is new and unheard of, but only such things as agree best with practice.
Baruch Spinoza
Men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues, and can moderate their desires more than their words.
Baruch Spinoza
God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things.
Baruch Spinoza
The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak.
Baruch Spinoza
Will and intellect are one and the same thing.
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
If we love something similar to ourselves, we endeavor, as far as we can, to bring it about that it should love us in return.
Baruch Spinoza
All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare.
Baruch Spinoza
No matter how thin you slice it, there will always be two sides.
Baruch Spinoza
