More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
True virtue is life under the direction of reason.
Baruch Spinoza
He who regulates everything by laws, is more likely to arouse vices than reform them.
Baruch Spinoza
Human infirmity in moderating and checking the emotions I name bondage : for, when a man is a prey to his emotions, he is not his own master, but lies at the mercy of fortune : so much so, that he is often compelled, while seeing that which is better for him, to follow that which is worse.
Baruch Spinoza
The human mind cannot be absolutely destroyed along with the body, but something of it remains, which is eternal.
Baruch Spinoza
Freedom is absolutely necessary for the progress in science and the liberal arts.
Baruch Spinoza
True knowledge of good and evil as we possess is merely abstract or general, and the judgment which we pass on the order of things and the connection of causes, with a view to determining what is good or bad for us in the present, is rather imaginary than real.
Baruch Spinoza
Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.
Baruch Spinoza
No matter how thin you slice it, there will always be two sides.
Baruch Spinoza
He, who knows how to distinguish between true and false, must have an adequate idea of true and false.
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
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
Freedom is self-determination.
Baruch Spinoza
Desire is the very essence of man
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
In the mind there is no absolute or free will but the mind is determined to wish this or that by a cause, which has also been determined by another cause, and this last by another cause, and so on to infinity.
Baruch Spinoza
Statesman are suspected of plotting against mankind, rather than consulting their interests, and are esteemed more crafty than learned.
Baruch Spinoza
The greatest pride, or the greatest despondency, is the greatest ignorance of one's self.
Baruch Spinoza
The greatest good is the knowledge of the union which the mind has with the whole nature.
Baruch Spinoza
We feel and know that we are eternal.
Baruch Spinoza
Pride is pleasure arising from a man's thinking too highly of himself.
Baruch Spinoza
