More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
Everything in nature is a cause from which there flows some effect.
Baruch Spinoza
Whatever increases, decreases, limits or extends the body's power of action, increases decreases, limits, or extends the mind's power of action. And whatever increases, decreases, limits, or extends the mind's power of action, also increases, decreases, limits, or extends the body's power of action.
Baruch Spinoza
True piety for the universe but no time for religions made for man's convenience.
Baruch Spinoza
If facts conflict with a theory, either the theory must be changed or the facts.
Baruch Spinoza
Men believe themselves to be free, simply because they are conscious of their actions, and unconscious of the causes whereby those actions are determined.
Baruch Spinoza
If men were born free, they would, so long as they remained free, form no conception of good and evil.
Baruch Spinoza
It is usually the case with most men that their nature is so constituted that they pity those who fare badly and envy those who fare well.
Baruch Spinoza
The safest way for a state is to lay down the rule that religion is comprised solely in the exercise of charity and justice, and that the rights of rulers in sacred, no less than in secular matters, should merely have to do with actions, but that every man should think what he likes and say what he thinks.
Baruch Spinoza
Whatsoever is, is in God.
Baruch Spinoza
God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things.
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
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
What everyone wants from life is continuous and genuine happiness.
Baruch Spinoza
Man can, indeed, act contrarily to the decrees of God, as far as they have been written like laws in the minds of ourselves or the prophets, but against that eternal decree of God, which is written in universal nature, and has regard to the course of nature as a whole, he can do nothing.
Baruch Spinoza
Love is nothing but joy accompanied with the idea of an eternal cause.
Baruch Spinoza
As men's habits of mind differ, so that some more readily embrace one form of faith, some another, for what moves one to pray may move another to scoff, I conclude ... that everyone should be free to choose for himself the foundations of his creed, and that faith should be judged only by its fruits.
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
The virtue of a free man appears equally great in refusing to face difficulties as in overcoming them.
Baruch Spinoza
The greatest good is the knowledge of the union which the mind has with the whole nature.
Baruch Spinoza
Academies that are founded at public expense are instituted not so much to cultivate men's natural abilities as to restrain them.
