More quotes by 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
Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear. [They are the two sides of a coin, so learning how to manage fear through learning, understanding, rationality, controlled imagination, preparation, mental focus (including distraction) and a gratitude attitude is very helpful.]
Baruch Spinoza
Surely human affairs would be far happier if the power in men to be silent were the same as that to speak. But experience more than sufficiently teaches that men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues.
Baruch Spinoza
Laws directed against opinions affect the generous-minded rather than the wicked, and are adapted less for coercing criminals than for irritating the upright.
Baruch Spinoza
Let unswerving integrity be your watchword.
Baruch Spinoza
The idea, which constitutes the actual being of the human mind, is not simple, but compounded of a great number of ideas.
Baruch Spinoza
Many errors, of a truth, consist merely in the application of the wrong names of things. For if a man says that the lines which are drawn from the centre of the circle to the circumference are not equal, he understands by the circle, at all events for the time, something else than mathematicians understand by it.
Baruch Spinoza
True piety for the universe but no time for religions made for man's convenience.
Baruch Spinoza
Blessed are the weak who think that they are good because they have no claws.
Baruch Spinoza
self-preservation is the primary and only foundation of virtue.
Baruch Spinoza
Indulge yourself in pleasures only in so far as they are necessary for the preservation of health.
Baruch Spinoza
Hatred which is completely vanquished by love passes into love: and love is thereupon greater than if hatred had not preceded it.
Baruch Spinoza
We are so constituted by Nature that we easily believe the things we hope for, but believe only with difficulty those we fear, and that we regard such things more or less highly than is just. This is the source of the superstitions by which men everywhere are troubled. For the rest, I don
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
Love is pleasure accompanied by the idea of an external cause, and hatred pain accompanied by the idea of an external cause.
Baruch Spinoza
In the state of nature, wrong-doing is impossible or, if anyone does wrong, it is to himself, not to another.
Baruch Spinoza
Self-complacency is pleasure accompanied by the idea of oneself as cause.
Baruch Spinoza
I believe that a triangle, if it could speak, would say that God is eminently triangular, and a circle that the divine nature is eminently circular and thus would every one ascribe his own attributes to God.
Baruch Spinoza
Ambition is the immoderate desire for honor.
Baruch Spinoza
The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.
Baruch Spinoza
