More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
He who lives according to the guidance of reason strives as much as possible to repay the hatred, anger, or contempt of others towards himself with love or generosity. ...hatred is increased by reciprocal hatred, and, on the other hand, can be extinguished by love, so that hatred passes into love.
Baruch Spinoza
All is One (Nature, God)
Baruch Spinoza

Baruch Spinoza

Baruch Spinoza
Nature offers nothing that can be called this man's rather than another's but under nature everything belongs to all.
Baruch Spinoza
...The body is affected by the image of the thing, in the same way as if the thing were actually present.
Baruch Spinoza
Will and intellect are one and the same thing.
Baruch Spinoza
How would it be possible if salvation were ready to our hand, and could without great labor be found, that it should be by almost all men neglected? But all things excellent are as difficult as they are rare.
Baruch Spinoza
Reality and perfection are synonymous.
Baruch Spinoza
Freedom is absolutely necessary for the progress in science and the liberal arts.
Baruch Spinoza
The highest endeavor of the mind, and the highest virtue, it to understand things by intuition.
Baruch Spinoza
If facts conflict with a theory, either the theory must be changed or the facts.
Baruch Spinoza
